I had trouble with Tyan boards and BIOS revisions not getting Processor numbers and speeds correct. We also had early life failures with Asus boards, and since switched to MSI, we now use the MSI 9161
K8D Master 3 http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/server/svr/pro_svr_detail.php?UID=560
without any problems..

I've been planning to build a dual Opteron server for awhile. I'd like to get people's suggestions on a suitable motherboard.
I've looked at the Tyan K8SE (S2892) and K8SRE (S2891) but would like to find more Linux-specific experiences with these boards.
Some features I expect are at least 4 SATA (SATA-300?) ports, serial console support in the BIOS, USB 2.0 and IEEE-1394 ports, low-end on-board video.
Anyone care to share their experiences?
