CentOS - Jan 2007 - Intel 965 howto Was: Easy upgrade path from beta5 to stable 5?

Well,
I have written that onboard network controller doesn't work... It's not
true anymore.
A small howto:
1) add pci network card
2) install with "linux all-generic-ide pci=nommconf"
3) update to the latest distro kernel 2.6.9-42.0.3
4) get
http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/e1000/e1000-7.3.20.tar.gz
5) do have kernel-headers, rpmbuild ... etc.
6) rpmbuild -ta e1000-7.3.20.tar.gz
7) rpm -ihv /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/e1000-7.3.20-1.i386.rpm
8) boot, remove pci eth, boot :o)

Regards,
David

Drew,
Centos 4.4 works on 965 (I'm talking about Intel DG965OT). Kernel
options are "all-generic-ide pci=nommconf". Set sata controller to
AHCI
mode in BIOS. Onboard network card is not recognized at all. So mobo
works, but just buy another board, at least for now.

What's the SATA performance like when setting it up in IDE emulation?  
Does it take a significant performance hit as a result?
