Hi, Just had some experience installing 4.2 on ASUS m2a-vm... Wasn't pleasant.
3Gbs drive shows max of 0.2MBs tranfer rate (according to iostat). My old drive shows appx 30MB on IDE bus. Tested using dd if=/dev/zero of=file. Any disk access takes forever. Selecting SATA interface as AHCI doesn't work (doesn't show up, or reboots the system when discovery attepmted). Installing 64bit version reboots the installer at the time disks were accessed. There seem to be some problems with built-in card, as in it won't send any packets, at least with 10MB media (re driver). Dunno if I'm doing something wrong, but I'm shutting it down and trying an NVidea based one instead. Thanks, Pawel.
