Since I installed with the old CD after this, it seems the log files where
overwritten, and I can not install again just for testing, this will have to
wait until we get the next AMD64, which will probably have the same MB.

As for the onboard nic (which died after less than a days usage), I don't see
it in lspci, I think it is one of the unknown devices, I am guessing one of
the Bridges:

It is supported by the forcedeth driver:

forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.28.
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:05.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:05.0 to 64
eth2: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 01043:80a7 bound to 0000:00:05.0

It has eth2 now, since we had to plug in another NIC, which is detected as
eth0, before the builtin firewire and the builtin nforce3.
