What motherboard is this?  The MSI FAR2 whatever?

It is MSI Master2-FAR.. sorry for not mentioning that.

Really?  Do you have APIC working?  I haven't gotten onboard IDE to work 
without DMA timeouts when APIC is enabled on the KT800 MB I have, but 
it's UP so I can live without it.  The current buglist said it's fixed 
for -some- motherboards.  I would suggest you ask about this on the 
x86_64.org list, you're more likely to find an answer there.

Sorry for the slow reply, had to beat Doom3 before I could move on with 
my life.
