(*1) Somehow buggy, unstable and/or unusable, see HdaIntel.

(*2) Installer would fail if "noapic" option was not passed to the kernel (when trying to detect the network card i think). The installed Debian machine would not start correctly either if the APIC was enabled in BIOS (or you would not disable it at boot time).

(*3) The motherboard has an onboard video adapter. I haven't managed to set Debian to use the free video nv driver because with all the refresh values I tried (VertRefresh, HorizRefresh) the monitor would enter in a "New Mode" setup (and would flicker or stretch the image). I've seen the same problems with an Ubuntu 64 installation. I haven't had this problems with the GeForce 440 MX AGP video card (on another motherboard).
