I have a Gigabyte GA-7VRXP. Upgrading from 7.3, I now have DMA on my hard drives (yay!) but I've lost my USB hi-fi link device. usbview doesn't even see it (boo).
I've not noticed stability problems, but I'll leave it running to see how it goes.

Hey All,
I've seen some mention of this in this list already, and I'd like to add
my 2c.
The kernel in 8.0 does not play well with the southbridge vt8233a
chipset.
My experience with James Ralston's patch for this chipset under the null
beta has been excellent. I have had no problems at all with my vt8233a
machines running this patched kernel (2.4.18-11).
Patch available at:
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/qralston/dev/
Machines running the unpatched 2.4.18-14 kernel start segfaulting after
24-48hrs of uptime.
Could someone (James, pretty please?) make a patch for 2.4.18-14?
-P.
