Praedor, Glad you got the FSB up to 133- have you got the multiplier setting maxed out? I assume it's set at about 133x13? If you have good cpu cooling, you might try upping the cpu voltage a hair and see if you can get closer 2600+ rating. That might be a limiting factor.
I've never been able to get AC '97 to function on any linux system I've built. Strangly, on my ultra 2, I have a SB128 pci sound card that has given me no problems. Also have that same card in my Abit KX7 (same via Kt333 chipset as the MSI). I have an excellent 300w PS, running a 1700+ XP tbred "B." Not much else draining power on this rig though. You might try installing the old sndconfig console config program, and try to configure it with that instead of HardDrake- I seem to recall I had to use that with 8.2 & 9.0 to get any sound configured- it's worth a shot. If you have success with AC'97, please post back with the details.
