...checking out this and like the looks of it. http://www.tyan.com/products/html/gt24b2891.html I was told the onboard SATA RAID controller can only be used by windows. However, others have told me that there is no problem using it with linux. Anyone used the Tyan Transport GT24 (TYAN Thunder K8SRE s2891 motherboard)? Good choice for a CentOS server?

We have been seeing failures with CentOS 4.4 i386 (not x86_64) running compute-intensive programs on Tyan K8SRE (S2891) Tymotherboards, running Opteron 265's.

The symptom is that CPU-bound programs (may or may not be related to floating point) fail randoml...

I've been planning to build a dual Opteron server for awhile. I'd like to get people's suggestions on a suitable motherboard. I've looked at the Tyan K8SE (S2892) and K8SRE (S2891) but would like to find more Linux-specific experiences with these boards. Some features I expect are at least 4 SATA (SATA-300?) ports, serial console support in the BIOS, USB 2.0 and IEEE-1394 ports, low-end on-board video. Anyone care to share their experiences?
