It runs perfectly fine under FreeBSD. But I had a bit of a time tweaking
BIOS parameters to keep it running for more than 30 minutes into
buildworld. Specifics in the archives of this list but in short reading
the manual's explaination of each BIOS setting one's default included
"PCI 2.2" but said nothing about that *in* the BIOS menus. Flipping that
to its non-default value was the last thing I did to make this machine
solid.

Other thing that helped a lot was to set "Non-PNP O/S" in the BIOS. 
This got my I/O mapped into sane places.
