Ooops, one more thing.
The promise controller is not supported yet. But that limits you to 4x
ide and 2x sata. Not a big problem. I had to enable ACPI in the kernel
to get the sata controller irq's routed correctly, but then they work.
Make sure your ram is the highest quality as the amd memory controller
really works the stuff. I used 2x 512Mb Kingston Hyper X at 2-2-5-2 and
had to bump vdimm to 2.7 volts before it became rock solid.
