this motherboard has worked with all of the above distros. onboard sound works (except you've gotta compile it into freebsd 5.2.1), onboard lan works (except for out-of-the-box freebsd 4.10). plenty of usb ports and other ports, plenty of features. i haven't had any problems with this motherboard and i've been using it for about a year. it looks like they're pretty cheap on ebay now too.

I have matherboard KT6 with 30Gb hdd on ide intercace and system works perfect. Problem is, if I switch enable SATA interface in Bios, SATA is configured like RAID striping with two 160Gb disks (all this is formated NTFS).
Describe problem: OS doesn't boot, OS go to dedlock in boot sequence. Probably I need some driver and metod howto install it.
