I have Debian etch running on an Asus P5WD2-E Premium almost without issue - my only remaining problems are that linux of any variety will not speak to the built in marvell sata card, and the sky2 nics occasionally lock the system hard. Since they do it so badly that the motherboard won't boot next time unless you turn the power off to the machine for 20 seconds, I suspect they are just really crap nics, and have it on my list to disable them and just use add on cards at some point in the near future. The marvell issue is being looked at upstream, and it looks like it's close. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | genlock, n.: Why he stays in the | | steve@lobefin.net | bottle. | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
