HOWTO : BackTrack 5 R1 on Intel X79 Express chipset and nVidia display card

Hardware

CPU : Intel i7-3930K (Socket 2011, 12 cores with HT)
Display card : 2 x nVidia GeForce GTX 590 (1024 CUDA cores per card)

Installation of BackTrack 5 R1

BackTrack 5 R1 can be boot up on Intel X79 Express chipset motherboard with 2 nVidia GeForce GTX 590 display cards. However, "nomodeset" should be applied to the boot option by pressing "tab" on the boot menu.

Install the BackTrack 5 R1 as usual. When it is required to reboot, do not remove the BackTrack 5 R1 CD. Boot up the CD accordingly. After the BackTrack 5 R1 is booted up, mount the hard drive and add "nomodeset" to boot option of the grub.cfg at /boot/grub.

After that, reboot the system and remove the CD. The system will be boot into BackTrack 5 R1 without problem.

If the kernel is upgraded, you should rebuild the kernel headers by the following steps :

prepare-kernel-sources
cd /usr/src/linux
cp -rf include/generated/* include/linux/


Installation of nVidia display driver

Go to nVidia Deleloper Zone CUDA Toolkit 4.0 to download the following. Do not enter to X11 by issuing "startx"; otherwise, the installation will be failed.

(1) Download "Developer Drivers for Linux (270.41.19)" for the nVidia Driver.

32-bit :
wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/4_0/drivers/devdriver_4.0_linux_32_270.41.19.run

64-bit :
wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/4_0/drivers/devdriver_4.0_linux_64_270.41.19.run

chmod +x devdriver_4.0_linux_xx_270.41.19.run
./devdriver_4.0_linux_xx_270.41.19.run


(2) Download "CUDA Toolkit for Ubuntu Linux 10.10" for the CUDA Toolkit.

32-bit :
wget http://www.nvidia.com/object/thankyou.html?url=/compute/cuda/4_0/toolkit/cudatoolkit_4.0.17_linux_32_ubuntu10.10.run

64-bit :
wget http://www.nvidia.com/object/thankyou.html?url=/compute/cuda/4_0/toolkit/cudatoolkit_4.0.17_linux_64_ubuntu10.10.run

chmod +x cudatoolkit_4.0.17_linux_xx_ubuntu10.10.run
./cudatoolkit_4.0.17_linux_xx_ubuntu10.10.run


(3) Download "GPU Computing SDK" for the nVidia SDK.

wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/4_0/sdk/gpucomputingsdk_4.0.17_linux.run

chmod +x gpucomputingsdk_4.0.17_linux.run
./gpucomputingsdk_4.0.17_linux.run


nano /root/.bashrc

Append the following :

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cuda/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/cuda/lib:/usr/local/cuda/lib64


After that, reboot the system to make the nVidia driver effect.

Installation of pyrit

Go to the official site of pyrit.

http://code.google.com/p/pyrit/downloads/list

Download pyrit and cpyrit-cuda (the current version is 0.4.0 at the time of this writing).

tar -xzvf pyrit-0.4.0.tar.gz
cd pyrit-0.4.0
python setup.py build
python setup.py install


tar -xzvf cpyrit-cuda-0.4.0.tar.gz
cd cpyrit-cuda-0.4.0
python setup.py build
python setup.py install


To test if the installation is correct or not.

pyrit list_cores
pyrit benchmark
pyrit benchmark_long


That's all! See you.

HOWTO : Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on Intel X79 Express Chipset and nVidia Display Card

At this writing, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is still under heavy development and at Alpha 1 stage.

It is no problem to boot Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on Intel X79 Express Chipset due to Kernel version 3.2.

If the system is equipped with nVidia display card, you need to set "nomodeset" by pressing F6 on the boot up menu of the Live CD of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (Press Enter when "keyboard" and "human" figures appear on the bottom on the screen when booting up)

That's all! See you.
