I don't have a problem with the board, I wondered why the alsa drivbers 
did not load by default

I have used this board for about 2 years and have been really pleased 
with it using Linux, and since it was so stable and dependable I decided 
to use it for the FC2 install.

I did see one problem, and that is related to the drives and LBA config. 
 It does not properly config the LBA parameters without manually telling 
it the CHS to use for LBA.  Absolutely no other problems though and it 
just works
