Gujal Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 It seems the ASUS P5Q Series BIOS is the issue, not the chipset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix3200 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 10.5.3 (10.5.2 Kalyway -> Jas) is working just fine on my P5QL-E. What I remember having to tweak was applying Chameleon to the setup, and turning on ACPI and AHCI anywhere I could find them in the BIOS. The Atheros L1e integrated NIC is junk - you'll need to get a PCI card to replace it (the Realtek 8169 Gigabit NIC worked right out of the box), and the ALC888 audio chipset is a pain to get working - I threw so many things at it that I couldn't tell you what made it work. It's too bad I still can't get optical out. If you're looking for dual booting with XP, you'll need to find the proper drivers to make XP work off of an AHCI drive configuration insead of an IDE configuration. If you're looking for triple booting with Ubuntu, the drivers to get the Atheros working are such a pain that you'll wish you owned a Realtek card already.
