Abit NF7-S
Works flawlessly.

Built-in Sil3112A controller however has its own serious bug. Never transfer files between TWO sata hard drives connected to it at the same time. This results in serious data corruption, due to internal cache problem. Firmware update doesn`t help since chip is built-in and local BIOS cannot load SATABIOS patches.

Sil3512 has this problem patched. Also works good on this board.(Or use any other SATA PCI card).

Knoppix and Mandrake 10.0 detected all the hardware.
Knoppix worked falwlessly.

Mandrake 10.0 had a lot of problems with the APIC. To prevent installer and boot from hanging you need to load it:

linux noapic nolapic


SATA works great.

USB mouse and keyboard works only in graphic mode.
