I have this board with RH9 on it, and the Pentium version (same award 
BIOS) with FC1.  Both have SB cards, plain IDE drives.  The FC1 box has 
an ATI all-in-wonder AGP video card and an el-cheapo 10/100 network 
card.  No problems here.  Linux is notorius for finding marginal 
hardware, though.  If you have any extra parts, try swapping some 
parts/pieces (I'd start with memory).

Good Luck!
