It might be that nobody here is using that motherboard. When researching a motherboard to determine linux compatability, I always find a list of compoents and use "make menuconfig" or google to see if each component's chipset is supported (when I don't know already). Searching google for "k8-ns pro" reveals this page: http://www.mainboard.cz/mb/gigabyte/GA-K8NSPro.htm I'll answer the ones I know for you; I'm sure you can dig up the rest if someone else doesn't have firsthand experience. > GA-K8NS Pro > nForce3 250 chipset I've been using an nforce3 250 board since December without a hitch. > Processor > Socket 754 for AMD Athlon64 This goes without saying... > Super I/O: ITE IT8712F chip lm_sensors supports this.
