For now I've just tested it with my bootable flash (-CURRENT from around September) - onboard Ethernet (Atheros) and PATA controller (Marvell) didn't work. However, after updating kernel to recent CURRENT Ethernet worked and PATA hard drive was detected). Now I'll check whether I really need CURRENT there (or 7.1 would suffice), move my desktop to that box, test it for a while and report some more info. -- Dmitry Marakasov . 55B5 0596 FF1E 8D84 5F56 9510 D35A 80DD F9D2 F77D amdmi3@amdmi3.ru ..: jabber: amdmi3@jabber.ru http://www.amdmi3.ru
