Hello, I have the above computer and I'm having problems with NIC's having their resources allocated in Linux with this motherboard, have done all the usual (check BIOS, clear CMOS and configuration data and check resources are allocated automatically in BIOS, re-seated NIC's, tried different PCI slots, different NIC's, motherboard has latest BIOS).
NIC's work fine in Windows 2K/ Windows XP/ Windows PE - UBCD4Win and some Linux distributions (Knoppix and either Insert Linux or DamnSmallLinux)I can't remember which one of the two.
NIC's don't get their resources allocated on the following Linux distributions: I'm using an Intel Pro 100S PCI card, also tried using an Intel Pro 1000 PCI and a Netgear FA312.
Fedora 9
OpenSuse 11
Ubuntu
CentOS (the version bundled with latest Trixbox PBX)
FreeNAS (FreeBSD not Linux)
If I do a dmesg, my NIC is detected but states resources could not be allocated.
Here is a posting of my dmesg log output captured on a non working Linux Distro:-

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, as it is really doing my head in and I don't want to give up with this PC as I would like to use it in a testing environment for Trixbox. Otherwise I'm going to have to stick with running it in VMWare with all the sound timing issues.
I have also tried installing some Distros with pci=routeirq using the additional Linux commands when it prompts you, and this didn't work either :-(
Tried taking all other PCI cards out, again no difference so put back in the NEC USB 2 PCI card, that is the only other card in the computer.
Many thanks people
