Re: MSI K8N NEO PLATINUM

My MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum works fine with etch amd-64, so I presume that 
it should be fine with sarge.   I found that I had to manually load the 
forcedeth module for the network driver during the install, although on 
rare occasions it would load it by itself.  Additionally since it has 
two nics I found that it sometimes assigned eth1 to the nic I was using 
instead of eth0.  So then I had to do an `ifconfig eth1 up` and 
`dhclient eth1` to get dhcp networking going during the install.

Once I had it up and running the only thing I had to do was to download 
the sound driver from nvidia's site (possibly another way to get sound 
working...but this worked).

Check out:

It lists mobos that work, including this one.
