I bought a tyan thunder k8sd pro s2882-d The sata raid does not work with Fedora Core 3 and 4 despite the fact that Tyan writes on mobo box that it supports Linux and the rest of the crap. 1. The floppy disk connector cable is too short thus the floppy drive cannot be used even on pc cases (I have tried on one just for the hell of it) apparently the idiots at Tyan place the connector where was convenient for them not to be used. 2. After using the bios utility to configure a 4 disk sata raid FC4 installs ok, however it does not reboot. 3. Contacted Tyan a while ago, never heard from them, thus it can be concluded that Tyan does not have technical support. Here is some advice, stay away from Tyan. I will try ASUS and MSI, mind you I will stay away from their SATA RAID bullshit and used a proper raid controller, because the onboard raid is just marketing bullshit..
