Hi Guys,
Im trying to install CentOS 4.2 server CD, my board is p5v800-MX and for some weird reason it can't detect my built-in ethernet port. Can this be resolved with newer kernel version.

Does centos install at all, but upon boot up not find the network card at all?

try knoppix or another cd based distros to see if the network card is detected.
Even as recently as the 2.6.14 kernel it appears to have limited support, and this user claims that only using the 2.6.15 did he get networking support.

For a board this new Fedora Core is one of the few options that will likely work with it. And I'm generally very unhappy with having to upgrade Fedora Core so often.

If Fedora core is not to your liking, install a PCI nic, or wait for CentOS 5 which should be out when upstream releases their -5 version later this year.
