Although this is a chipset designed for the AMD processors (which are leaning 64), I am interested in i386 support as that would be my preferred run environment for the time being. The 965L appears to be the most problematic as it supports SATA and NIC and loading a system without these two devices.... SIS has posted a linux driver on their website but I do not know how to successfully compile it into my system. If support is not available in 5.4, does anyone know its likelihood of being in 5.5? Alternatively, can someone suggest how one goes about formally requesting that support be added? Graham/ -- Kindness can be infectious - try it.
