?? I'm running an Asus A7N8x-Deluxe (with nForce2) on 2.6.1 vanilla with no problems. I am using the 3com ethernet port, not the nforce one, but I don't need the nv closed-source drivers (other than video, which works) for anything. By the way, I'm using the SiI SATA controller, and I could never get the computer to boot off of it (well, it worked in windows, but that hardly counts). I'm having the best luck using LILO with /boot on a PATA hard drive--I'm sure this isn't what you want to hear. -R
