Alrighty - here are my findings:

Desktop (HighPoint RAID controller)
No problems booting, but I got this error after keymap selection:
	(something to the effect of)Cannot open /dev/tty0, no such file or dir
And when I `less` something, I get a message about a magic file. Prolly
nothing important, but I figured I would doc it anyway.

As for my RAID controller, it was not automogically modprobed, I had to
do it by hand. Once I did it though, it was fine.

Compaq Deskpro (Work box)
Same as above minus the RAID issues.

Other than that, looks good.

Cheers,
//zhen
