OK, I looked.  The board we're using is a A8N VM CSM.  This is a
micro-itx board with on-board video, 10/100/1000 NIC, FireWire,
etc. and we're running it with AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+
with SuSE Linux Enterprise 10.  I tried a variety of things, but
never got SLES9-SP3 to install on these main boards.

I also have built a couple of machines running K8N and K8N-E main
boards which don't have the built-in video or FireWire, and are a
larger form factor.
