I been googling but p55 is also a network card or something. Sort of hard to weed them out. Dale :-) :-) It's the ASRock P55 Deluxe... http://www.asrock.com/MB/overview.asp?Model=P55%20Deluxe

Still looking for the drivers tho. I have never had a Intel that I know of. Sort of poking in the dark here. Since it appears to be working, it may be that you will have to boot the CD and do a lspci -k to see what the CD is using. Dale :-) :-)
Re: [gentoo-user] P55 Chipset Support
I have never tried P55 before, however, I have no problem with P35, P45, and X58. I believe Gentoo should work with P55 without any problem. When using make menuconfig you need to configure network interface, SATA, and IDE drivers correctly for the hardware specifications obtained from lspci command.

The preview concluded At the end of the day, the Intel platform will run fine under Linux, but there's a few hiccups right now which is fine because I won't be upgrading for another month so hopefully all the problems will be fixed by them.

What I would do, find the latest live CD that you can find, Gentoo, Knoppix or whatever, then boot it and run lspci -k. It's then as simple as finding the options in the kernel and turning them on. The make menuconfig has a search option in it. Just hit the / key and type in the name of the driver. It will list where all the matches are. Naturally you need to wait until you get this mobo and all to get the CD. The later the better. Another key thing, getting the latest kernel available when you install. Most drivers may not be in the current ones or earlier ones. That's the key thing I would guess. I would even get one that is masked/keyworded if needed. Maybe check with this list as to what people are getting from a certain version and running a rig similar to yours. Dale :-) :-)
