Have you tried booting the CD off both SMP and non-SMP kernels? I remember that I couldn't get my network card to work with the SMP kernel on the Gentoo 1.4 LiveCD.

I would say that the most complicated/annoying thing you may have to deal with is to get the power management working properly - the z71v is reasonably...
Heh, this isn't really big. What they did is they bought an emulator product and decided to be anal and not allow it to run Linux. Now they just realized WTF they did and fixed the mistake.

Guys, I should note that although a separate boot mountpoint is not required, I STRONGLY recommend it. I started out directly with Gentoo and was really surprised when I discovered that most other distros don't separate /boot. The reason...
Another unpleasant update:
1) SAGER got back to me saying that they simply have no information on 5680 running with Prescotts.
2) The fan control seems not be the fault of the fan control - its the fault of the temperature sensor....
Hey guys, I think I might be in trouble. The system is running fine but the reply from SAGER got me worried. Even though the service manual lists the 3.2 and 3.4GHz Prescotts as compatible, the tech representative told me that the 5680...
