Asus A7V + AMD Athlon Thunderbird + RH 6.2?

[Patrick]

Has anybody experienced problems installing and/or running RedHat Linux 6.2 on a system comprised of an Asus A7V with an AMD Athlon Thunderbird CPU?

I saw the following warning in the Intel hardware compatibility section of the RedHat support web page (http://www.redhat.com/support/hardware/intel/62/rh6.2-hcl-i.ld-2.html) that concerned me:
"AMD Athlon compatible motherboards. The new Motherboard architecture being used and the cutting edge technology often implimented in the chipsets can create problems during the installation. Red Hat Linux may or may not install properly on a Athlon compatible motherboard according to its components."

I am considering putting together a system with an Asus A7v w/AMD Athlon Thunderbird 700, and I would like to know if this is possible.

Well no problems... I am on my thunderbird A7V combo right now.

Of course I am using a extremely customized system. As in custom patched kernel and the new lilo. Anyhow it works and it even works with my Geforce.

I think you'll need to get the IDE ata 33 patch for your kernel and you'll need to get the new lilo the kernel patch is at hte kernel archive here:
