I have one of these boards running suse 10 ( and suse 9.3 at one point).

I have not met any problems with it at all. Suse 9.3/10 installs without a 
hitch.

I have added the following to this board with all devices found/configured on 
install. 

6 hard drives ( 2 x sata 4x ide)
2 dvd writers (nec 3500 and pioneer 107d)
nvidia fx 5900
compro videomate dvb t-200 tv card
soundblaster live 5.1
q-tec (sil680) ide raid card
USB pci card
USB bluetooth adapter

All onboard devices (ide, sata controllers, wireless ethernet) were picked up 
and configured buy suse 9.3/10 with no issues.  

My bios is revision 1008

Not sure why your having such a hard time with this board.

send be me your bios settings and i'll compare with my mine and check for any 
differences.
