Fedora Core 2

I have a QBIC EQ3702 (same motherboard as the 3705 but with a different PSU I believe).
There is a problem with some of the update kernels. The kernel supplied with the distribution works, as does the current updated kernel, but some of the kernels in between don't (the 2.6.6 ones). This is a known problem with the nForce chipset. It shows itself as a warning about IRQ11 being disabled during startup. After that USB and the NIC don't work. This problem is random and shows itself about every second boot. It's however easily solved by upgrading to a 2.6.8 kernel.
The NVIDIA drivers for the integrated video works too. Get the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6106 package and follow the instructions.
The mobo has support for dual-head (two monitors), but I haven't tried that.
