I rebooted and the newest sysrescue still wouldn't boot up. It says it can't find /sysrcd.dat which I think is caused because it can't use the USB port that the sysrescue stick is plugged into. So, I booted Knoppix instead from DVD. Success. I got a list of drivers from lspci and plan to research them and see if I am missing something. If not, I may just start with a fresh config and see if that helps. At least the mobo is working tho. That's a good thing. It's a start at least.
