Paul 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.

Well, one of them is a lemon.
The Asus motherboard was a struggle even with Suse 9.3
It sounds promising, AMD_64, integrated wireless, SATA, gigabit ethernet, sound. nVidia card to round it out.
For Suse 9.3, upgrading the bios to 1008 really helped. (1009 breaks it again). Quite stable.
Suse 10 is difficult to install. Can't read the DVD consistently. Even installing from the network is problematic. Critical packages won't install. Graphics detection segfaults. Yast segfaults. Online upgrade crashes. Basically unusable.
I'd blame the hardware, if 9.3 weren't working so well. What's up with 10?
