Sorry if I didn't give enough information yesterday but I had
to install an IDE drive to get Linux working again. Does anyone know
if the BIOS is either too new and not supported yet or just defective?
I tried booting the FreeBSD install floppy and that didn't boot either.
It generated lots of interesting information but the main one was
"int line register not set by bios". Can anyone tell me if either
ASUS of Supermicro have any problems? If I can't get this to work
I'm going to send this motherboard back.
Here are the bios boot up messages.

This is the only setup screen that has any IRQ selections. I have
tried every combination of settings and none have worked.
PCI CONFIGURATION SETUP
PnP BIOS AUTO CONFIG:DISABLED
1st Available IRQ : 10
2nd Available IRQ : 11
3rd Available IRQ : 9
3th Available IRQ : 12
PCI IDE IRQ MAP TO : ISA
These are the Linux boot up messages I get when I add IRQ=9
to 53c7,8xx.c.
scsi-ncr53c7,8xx : at PCI bus 0, device 6, function 0
scsi-ncr53c7,8xx : NCR53c810 at memory 0xf0000000, io 0x6000, irq 9
scsi0 : using io mapped access
scsi0 : using initiator ID 7
scsi0 : using level active interrupts
scsi0 : burst length 8
scsi0 : using 40MHz SCSI clock
scsi0 : NCR code relocated to 0x001ea27c
scsi0 : test 1 started
scsi0 : driver test 1 timed out due to lost interrupt.
Please verify that the correct IRQ is being used for your board,
and that the motherboard IRQ jumpering matches the PCI setup on
PCI systems.
If you are using a NCR53c810 board in a PCI system, you should
also verify that the board is jumpered to use PCI INTA, since
most PCI motherboards lack support for INTB, INTC, and INTD.
scsi0 : DSP = 0x1ea964 (script at 0x001ea27c, start at 0x1ea950)
scsi0 : DSPS = 0x4000000
scsi : 0 hosts.
scsi : detected total.

This is what I get it I boot a regular kernel.
