I have an ASUS P5B Deluxe/Core 2 Duo/Intel 965/all SATA (Plextor DVD+

there can install on this configuration.
Information on whether this issue has been fixed is, at best, dubious on
various Linux forums.
/Does/ the Linux kernel support this configuration? Can it
install/recognize this hardware configuration?
sure, I'm running one right here =D
I'm sorry to ask this question here, but all I need is a correct answer
- I've never posted here to ask questions, but this issue has been
bugging me quite a bit.
Distro's are struggling to catch up with the flood of new drivers since 2.6.18rc that
support these new chipsets.
You'll probably install just fine on IDE first and switch to a manually compiled kernel
(2.6.18 recommended) afterwards. Once the distro's catch up you'll have forgotten all
the pain :)
Cheers,
Auke
