ASUS P5V800-MX

Hardware Information

Hardware Description: A 64-bit LGA775 socket for Pentium D/Pentium 4/Celeron
CPU motherboard. See
http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=765&l1=3&l2=11&l3=229
for details.

Notes: As this motherboard is based on the VT8251 chipset, SATA support is a
challenge. Instructions for making a FC5 driver disk to allow installation
are available from http://rajibchy.tripod.com/. Current stability is
somewhat questionable. I read somewhere that full VT8251 support is coming
with Linux 2.6.18 - take it for what it's worth. The FC5 graphical installer
works fine, but graphics have not been otherwise tested. Sound has not been
tested. Network and USB work fine.

Whatever's standard on the SUSE 10.1 distro.  I can't get far enough to load

any updates from the 'net.
