[Rick Barnes <rag3fan@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have both an Abit KA7 (w/ Athlon 700) and KT7A (w/ Duron 800) I have had no
problems with them (except the POST bug w/ GeForce 2). I haven't experienced
the problem w/ the SB live cards although mine is the 5.1 if that makes a 
difference,
I don't know.

No, problems, with NIC's (D-Link DFE-530TX+ and Netgear FA311). I am using
the 2.4.0-SuSE kernel and have had no problems w/ it, or w/ my GeForce2 card
in XF 4.0.3.

Everything went perfect with my SuSE 7.1 install from start to finish.
