yes, try a different distro. apparently there are some motherboards that 
MDK9.0 has problems with (this exact problem, actually). MDK8.2 worked on 
them, as does (apparently) SuSe, Red Hat and others... so it seems to be a 
MDK9.0 issue, probably to be fixed in 9.1 ... so, try a different distro 
perhaps...
