Hi,
No I haven't tried to add a GPU. My motherboard is in a R120-P30 server which I will use as a test web server and/or virtualization server, and I haven't a GPU card at my disposal. Sorry.
Regard,

Hi Loic,
I asked a question to someone working for Applied Micro, and he confirmed it was a known issue and that they are working on it. He also advised to compile xgene_enet as built-in driver instead of using it as a module.
Other question. Did you have any luck installing a PCIe video card and starting either Gnome or KDE desktop? So far I tried nVidia 7800 GT (from Apple G5) and Radeon 290X. Although both are recognized by lspci, X fails to start. Also dmesg shows some ugly crashes.
Kind regards, Ronald

Hi Ronald,
openSUSE installs without problem but as you already know the network is not working due to the fact that the xgene_enet is compiled as a module... I'm compiling an openSUSE kernel with this module statically linked and I will see whats happen next.
But it's strange to see that the module is not working (lsmod shows 0 for the 'used' column, strange...).
Regards,
Loic

Hi Loic,
Centos 7.2 is actually the easiest distribution to install as the xgene_enet driver is build in the kernel instead of compiled as a module. Only thing needed was setting the MAC0 / MAC1 variables in UEFI shell. And then after the Centos installer started, open a Linux shell and run
dhclient eth0
A lot of good information about MP30-AR0 can be found at https://rwmj.wordpress.com/
Debian and OpenSuse could be installed using the full DVD installation image, but then you either need to recompile the kernel or use an alternative PCIe ethernet adapter (haven't tried that). For details how to change .config and recompile the kernel for Debian Testing see https://lists.debian.org/debian-efi/2016/03/msg00020.html
Something similar should work for OpenSuse
Kind regards, Ronald Maas

https://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2015/09/11/how-to-get-xserver-running-out-... may give you hints.
I have APM Mustang under desk and used it as a desktop (kde, xfce) for few days. Under Fedora and RHELSA.
I have seen kernel panics when modprobing SATA and SAS drivers for cards I was trying to use (Silicon Image and 3ware). Not managed to get to the bottom of why it happens, though, since the ahci driver loads without problems.
I haven't tried other add-in cards yet.
