Excellent easy install with SuSE 9.2.

Dedtected everthing correctly with Debian. The only problem is the bundled WiFi card did not detect, but this is understandable since it is a proprietary component and not something bought off the shelf. I have also used this board with KNOPPIX, Ubuntu (64bit and 32bit). 64 bit support works great and detects well.

Installation very easy but
It did not managed to detect the wifi on board card
I did not manage to install the drivers and make it work
(I am a newbie)

all the rest OK

Ok, I have had some problems with the motherboard, and I have fixed it now (most of it).

I have testet bios 1017, and it works. so does 1009.

I have a problem, when I turn on the sata controler in the bios, debian will not boot!
I have attached two Promise Ultra133Tx2 to the motherboard, it accomidate my ide disks.
And the onboard sata controler is a TX2 and the two ide controlers is also tx2, so I guess that is the reason for my problems.

I am running a standart kernel for debian 386, and everything works.
When I try to run the amd64-8 and -generic kernel, I have some problems with alsa.

I have turned on PCI -> auto
acpi 2.0 ->on
acpi modes -> both (auto)
usb2 (full speed)

So have fun, its a good and rock solid board.
I will come with more feedback, when I attach, my sata disks.

ok, I have now tested.
The reason for xwindows not working is problems with usb mouse using a newer kernel.
I have now connected 4x320gb sata with software raid, and it's 100% stable!
