Avoid using the Soyo KT400 Ultra Platinum Plus with Linux if possible! When I first bought it no Linux disto would install unless I first disabled the onboard Highpoint controller. I bought the board partly because the Soyo web page said it was compatible with Linux. Shortly afterwards I discussed the problem on a Soyo users forum and discovered that no one had been able to make any Linux distro work on that motherboard. Several people had tried.
When Red Hat 9 came out it was the first distro that installed and ran properly with all features enabled on the motherboard. Two days ago I installed Slackware 9 and it works although I am having to start it from a boot disk at the moment because the Slack setup program could not install Lilo for me. I will skip the details on that problem for now. In the past I have installed Red Hat, SuSE and Mandrake on my old computer, so I do not think it is that I did not know how to install Linux.
