Linux 3.0 on AMD Hudson (Gigabyte E350N-USB3).

Had a major struggle getting 5.1 sound going - all kernels between 2.6.32 and 
2.6.39 have a problem with ALC892 (something to do with 64bit DMA).
The display would not work at all and I had to ssh to get to the machine. 
Careful inspection of syslog showed a missing radeon binary firmware 
blob - !@#$ piece of shit I HATE BLOBS - getting it from sid repo solved the 
problem.

Not much info on this board, it being very new even abroad. I am pleasantly 
surprised at this board being available a month ago. I decided to purchase 
this one because coreboot was being ported and presumed there would be no 
problems, since it's a lot harder to run linux in bios than as a regular 
kernel.
 
Now to test 1080P.
