Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2008 09:52:54 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200812290952.54095.gene.heskett@gmail.com> (raw)

2.6.28.final, has existed most of the way through the 28-rc series.  This ASUS 
mobo is a $250+ mobo, latest (working bios, the beta does work at all) and 
has a quad core Phenom with 4GB of dram on it.

What it seems to be is useless noise, and only ASUS knows if it will be fixed.  
As for reporting this to ASUS, has anyone a contact address?, their website 
has none that works.
