My faithful gateway is now up and running, as I received an Asus A7V600-X motherboard yesterday evening. Sure, this isn’t the most powerful motherboard out of the market, but it is cheap (45€) and, above all, it is nearly the only remaining Asus or Abit Socket A motherboard in the online shops. However, I have some issues left: one of my hard drive isn’t recognized (making the kernel hangs for 20 seconds at boot), the embedded LAN controller hasn’t got a Linux driver (Realtek 82something), and I don’t really know if there is any support for the VIA KT600 chipset. But at least I have my Internet access back, and I can read the 379 waiting emails. Well, I still have to investigate tonight!
