Philip, googling for 'ASROCK linux' took me to a thread in which it seems that RedHat had been installed, but with a lot of problems. Apparently it needs NOAPIC to function currectly. This can be passed as a parameter at install time. Please will someone give Philip exact instructions on how to do this?
