one best suggestion is replace your mobo, you have a very good proc, asus chipset is headache by nature especially if you are using via vt8237a, the only linux OS that works on that board is fedora core 6 and up, i tried testing it on centos 4 and 5 without success and a pain in the butt hardware, i still insist on using msi which works like a charm. ciao!

Although hindi siya ka specs ng hardware mo, pero possible na mamomoblema karin katulad ko. Problem: buit-in video card PCI Express (up to 256Mb) not detected or sound card na built-in is not also detected Cause: Linux flavors not supported ito Solution: Freespire ang ginamit ko I tried most popular Linux distribution at eto ang na-encounter ko: 1. Simply Mepis 6.0 and 6.5 (32 and 64 bit) - sound card (realtek chipset)built-in not detected 2. Ubuntu - (32 and 64 bit) - upon installation palang it hanged or monitor is not functioning. 3. Freespire - ok ang sound and video - easily detected Nagsawa akong mag-install at finally na detect din ang video card na built-in by using Freespire. Kaya lang hindi siya 64 bit.:( At least nagagamit ko ito. Sa palagay ko i try mo ang Cent OS at manually configure mo ang video card para ma detect ito... By the way, itong Linux ko ay desktop lang ang gamit ko dito. Pang-music play, network monitoring at basic Internet services use... Hope nakatulong din ito kahit papaano...
