I have an ASUS M2R32-MVP motherboard with SATA harddrives. I can't get
ANY linux to install on it. Has anyone gotten ANYTHING to run on this
board, with or without crippling boot options?

I have tried different versions of openSUSE, Fedora, and Debian. Even
latest alpha versions. They either don't detect any harddisk, or hang. I
even tried Arch Linux with 2.6.20 kernel. It crashes with a kernel
panic. I have done alot of googling and I see a fair amount of people
having the exact same problems with this board that I am. I have seen
zero solid answers.

Sad thing is i've been trying to completely switch to Linux for years.
This was going to be the big move so I bought (what I thought was) nice
hardware to run. But these problems have been going on for over 7 months
now so Im guessing that the community just doesnt have much interest in
this board/chipset? Should I save my pennies for a different board and
trash this sucker?

NN:

Your experience is NOT unique. (EX) DapperDrake does NOT support my
ASUS-M2N Eth-port or onboard sound. Your case is extreme ... IMVHO trash
your mobo. Then check the NewEgg reviews before buying a new one.
