Well I'm stting up my roomates rig and I have had nothing but problems with this mobo. First, I cannot load XP SP1 on it. I end up with a pci.sys error and after many hours of searching I found out I needed to make a bootable SP2 disk just to get the OS on it. The marvell IDE port will not recognize any device connected to it. I flashed the bios to 0401 and no change. It takes at least 35 secs to make it past post. All these problems and I am lost.

I'm just hoping someone had the same type of problems so I can get a little guidence or is it time to look for a new mobo.

recap

Mavell ide port doesnt work
And takes forever to make it past post (cmos set to quick post)

Thanks
 
I flashed the mobo with the new 0501 bios. Unfortunatly I'm trying to locate the link to the site that has that bios and I cant seem to find it. I will post it as soon as I do. Oh btw, this bios is NOT an official bios release yet from ASUS thats why it is hard to find.
 
I have an unofficial 0403 BIOS but it still didn't fix it... 0501 would be nice, please find it :D (or send me a PM if you can e-mail it to me?)
