You are fussing about bug reports, here is one. Seems like a shrug,but...

2.6.28.final, has existed most of the way through the 28-rc series. This ASUS
mobo is a $250+ mobo, latest (working bios, the beta does work at all) and
has a quad core Phenom with 4GB of dram on it.

As for reporting this to ASUS, has anyone a contact address?, their website
has none that works.
