Description: This is a VIA-based AMD socket 754 micro-ATX board with onboard video.

Tested and working: on-board LAN, IDE, audio, USB, temperature sensors

Not tested: on-board video (I heard 32-bit driver available, but 64-bit is not), SATA

Significant issues: reboot doesn't work in 2.6 series kernel (2.4 seems ok)

Other issues: lacks AMD Cool 'n' Quiet feature, no detectable fan or voltage, 2.6 kernel intermittent pause during boot (seems related to USB)
Keywords: micro-ATX AMD 754 video

Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.11.12-rc5
Distribution: Debian Sarge



(Issues as noted in original posting of item.)

Reboot problem is due to i8042 hardware/driver issue. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2005/05/msg00854.html for workarounds. A proper kernel fix is currently undergoing testing.

Another major issue: powernow-k8 driver fails after some time with "change-pending bit stuck" error. This renders the CPU throttling useless.
