Recently I have tried using Asus Sabertooth 990FX and Gigabyte 990FX motherboards and experienced problems.
They both need IOMMU disabled in the BIOS in order to boot.
Interesting. I've got a Gigabyte 990 motherboard in my current computer, and I didn't need to disable IOMMU to get it to boot. IOMMU has been around for years... what kernel version were you having issues with?
The Gigabyte board works with both the nouveau and the proprietary NVidia driver.
Same here. I've got a NVidia GTX260 plugged into the Gigabyte motherboard and had no issues with the Nouveau or the NVidia proprietary drivers (from the oS repos).
Any comments or recommendations on Linux compatible motherboards with modern chipsets.
Intel a better solution that AMD perhaps?
I'm using an AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition in a Gigabye990FX board on my main PC and it's been rock solid. I had no issues installing openSUSE 12.1. Intel vs AMD... it's always a tossup. AMD is cheaper... whether that's good or not could be argued for a few months without resolution :-) I use both... and both work fine.
