Turns out the motherboard I’m using is horribly supported by the kernel that the 8.04 LiveCD runs. It’s a struggle to get it to see SATA drives, and even then after it installs, which I’ve gotten it to do once, it just sits there blinking a cursor and doing nothing. Hopefully I can get 2.6.25 kernel on there somehow. If it’s able to get the LAN working, which according to threads I’m reading it’s not, I can upgrade the kernel in the installation process. I’ll post more as I find out more. I’m currently looking at this and this. Asus’ EZ Flash or whatever is nice though – you can just stick a BIOS update on flash drive, then hit Alt-F2 while booting (or pull it up through the BIOS setup menu) and you can select the update and it’ll eat it.
