I've had some major problems with all 2.6 kernels <= 2.6.2 (not tried any newer) and this board. It has an intel e7505 chipset. I can easily make it not work by reading a bad cdrom in my first drive (it's an optorite dvd burner). This drive is hda (The hard disks are scsi). Once it hits an error, hda is now useless and I have to shutdown the machine. I've also had problems with the USB on this system as well. Same thing, once an error happens, usb is useless.
Does linux not support this chipset very well? Everything else works fine. All scsi devices behave normally, network is fine (intel e1000 and 3com 3c900 tpc), sound is fine. It's just the IDE and USB that causes problems.
I noticed that after hda hung, the system hung 5 minutes later. I never see anything in dmesg when this happens.
