Well I have an A8V Deluxe here and it is running flawlessly. I run the
2.6.11 amd64 kernel with a 32bit sarge install, and 64bit in chroot.
I haven't bothered compiling my own kernels in a while given the debian
2.6 kernels have always worked perfectly for me. I do know I would
need to use the chroot with 64bit env to compile the kernel with amd64
enabled though.
The system has been very stable though.
Asus A8V
Athlon64 3500
2*512M kingston PC3200
2*250GB WD SATA drives connected to the via controllers (never bothered
to find a driver for the promise)

GF5200 video
I did run pure64 on it initially while burning in and to play with it,
and that worked perfectly too.
