    Is new Asus P5GD2 linux compatible???

    In brief, this has not been a pretty install. I have just gotten the P5GD2 Premium, and prepare for some work. If you want to install from CD, it appears that the CD must be connected to the ICH6 IDE controller. If you have other drive(s), they are likely connected to the ID8212 controller. Suse 9.2 doesn't see these hard drives and doesn't install. Instructions on the 8212 driver download don't make sense, and after several tries, I could get it to install. Mandrake 10.1 doesn't see the Marvell network controllers, which makes updates a bit difficult. Again, not easy to make work. Gentoo 2004.3 sees neither the drive nor the network. A no-hitter. Life may be better if you have SATA drives. Any insights would be appreciated.
