If you haven't already bought it, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. Too bad, because it seemed like a really nice, full-featured mobo. I bought one of these two weeks ago, and for the life of me can't seem to get FreeBSD installed. Mine is an almost-identical setup: A7V133, 1.0 GHz Athlon T-Bird, PC133 memory. In the middle of the install I get a kernel panic, reliably and repeatably. I posted the details last week, but judging by the ensuing silence I would guess that nobody here knows how to make this unit work. > This is the board that has the Promise ATA100 IDE controller built in. > > Has anybody experimented with the RAID 0 option on this beast? I haven't gotten the OS installed, let alone played with the RAID. > Any impressions? For now, this machine looks like a $600 paperweight.
