Hmm, I'm running a Gentoo box on an Asus Nforce motherboard with all that stuff, Ithink.<br>

Email me off-line and I can return my config if you like.<br>

<br><br>I get the feeling that if you can't get them all to play nicely just<br>in the kernel, changing the distribution won't change that - in fact,<br>I imagine you're better off staying where you are since you can try as
