    thanks for the info. did you use any special instructions (grub-dfe, boot123) to get kalyway/iatkos to boot on this motherboard?

    Thanks for the comment!

    There was no real trick to getting Kalyway to boot. We just popped the DVD in and let the installer do its thing. Make sure you only install what packages you need on the customization screen though, or else stuff doesn't work. I'm going to be doing this process again on my PC today or tomorrow (I ordered another GA-EP45-DS3R for myself), so I'll make sure to take note of what specific packages I used.

    Also, we used a SATA DVD drive and SATA hard drive, but I'd like to hear if an IDE DVD drive works as well.

    Cheers for the info. Used it to install Leopard remotely for a mate of mine. There was less fiddling then I expected, but when my friends tried to get the machine online they ran into problems with the dual onboard NICs. They had to disable one to get everything working. Any comment about this?

    I did not have to disable either onboard NIC. Instead I used the secondary NIC (bottom one) for my connection.
