Just want to register this for the next person who might want to install to 
this mobo.

The kernel recognizes a USB-based keyboard and mouse but GRUB does not, so 
one must explicitly enable USB keyboard and mouse in the BIOS to interact 
with GRUB (eg. to select "that other OS").

I've not yet tested audio on this system.

The gigabit LAN works, but I need to check to see which one I've got 
plugged in. (It's got two channels and they use different chipsets.)

The rest of the system:

Gigabyte nVidia 6800 GT
Seagate SATA 250 GB HD
NEC DVD writer
no floppy
1 GB OCZ RAM in slot 2 (I'll add another stick to get dual channel later)
CPU is AMD64 Venice 3000+

I've got WinXP Pro 64-bit on the first partition, 1 GB of swap at the "end" 
of the drive, and the middle physical partition is FC4. GRUB worked fine 
except for the USB keyboard issue noted above. The boot menu timeout is a 
bit short, though.
