K8 Mainboards Linux compatibility list



Hello,

Thank you for keeping such a list. Here is data for a motherboard 
missing in the list.

Mainboard : EP-8KDA3+ (Socket-754)
ATA       : amd74xx (2 channel ATA-IDE controller on nForce3 chipset)
ATA Raid  : None
Serial ATA: sata_nv  (2 channel SATA-IDE controller on nForce3 chipset)
            sata_sil (onboard 4 channel SiI-3114 SATA controller)
SCSI      : None
Network   : forcedeth (onboard nForce 1000MBps thru Cicada 8201 Gb-Eth)
Sound     : snd_intel8x0 (onboard 8 channel ALC-850 sound controller)


Notes:

1. Debian installer did not detect onboard Gb-Ethernet controller 
automatically, so I have used an add-on ethernet card to install it 
(over the Net). Nevertheless, once installed and updated to current 
Sid, it has started detecting onboard Ethernet. Now I removed the add 
on ethernet and I'm using onboard Gbit ethernet now.

2. I didn't hook up a speaker and test the sound, as I won't be using 
sound on this server machine. Nevertheless it seems to be working. 
(Detects, loads modules properly, no errors so far)

3. I also didn't test onboard SATA controllers ("sata_nv" of nForce and 
"sata_sil" of SiI-3114, but I gather that they work properly from 
others' experiences.
