I rebooted and the newest sysrescue still wouldn't boot up. It says it

instead from DVD. Success. I got a list of drivers from lspci and plan
to research them and see if I am missing something. If not, I may just
start with a fresh config and see if that helps.
At least the mobo is working tho. That's a good thing. It's a start at
least.

Ive found that with gentoo/sysrescuecd before - the other distros do a
better job of detection - I have a dell system here that wont work on
SRD for instance. But after using ubuntu to find what was missing, its
running gentoo fine.

Well, I have enabled everything I could find from the Knoppix test and
it still does not work. I'm likely going to just try to config a kernel
from scratch later on. That or go back to the one from my old mobo and
just change the chipset. See if that works.
Thanks for the help. I'll post updates when I can. I may be pretty
busy for a few days. Could be a bit.

Update. I did some googling and found out that I have to add "
iommu=pt" to the kernel command line. When I do that, it works fine.
It seems that this mobo doesn't play
well with 64 bit Linux. Some even
said it appears to be a windoze only mobo. So, my question is this. I
just spent $120 on a mobo that it appears it doesn't work up to its full
value. Should I swap this mobo for another board, brand to most likely,
and be done with it? I like my last Gigabyte mobo but if this one isn't
going to support what I use, maybe I need to rethink this selection.
What are the thoughts of some mobo gurus? I bought it from newegg so
return shouldn't be to big of a issue if I get this started pretty
soon. I'll check for BIOS updates but the posts I found said it didn't
help a bit.
Thoughts?
