I have tried two Biostar boards M7NCG, M7NCD (both have nVidia nforce chipsets), and both have problems. The G boots till it gets to the disks and hangs. On the D, the kernel presents the copyright notice and dies. I tried the asus a7v333 and, although it seems to boot, it doesnt run with my raid (adaptec 2400). Does anybody have a rig that they are using that runs with no problems so that i can stop fooling around with trying this and that? thanks, ron.
