could anyone tell me if there are any chances to see that board supported ?

heh, thanks for the link
There is support for Rev F in the tree and MCP55 is underway if not already done.
good news
The specs list some other chips though: Chipset nVIDIA NFP3600 + NPF3050 NEC nPD720404 PCI-X tunnel SMSC Super I/O
(Is MCP55 slang for the 3600+3050?)
The NEC PCI-X chip is not supported but maybe it doesn't require any special support. (Ie. HT/PCI config is enough.)
8Mbit flash is nice, you will probably want a Linux kernel so you can boot from the nice SAS controller.
hmm.. I wasn't planning on getting the one with the sas controller... the idea was to get a nice areca raid controller for the 16 disks that I'll be able to fit in my Chenbro 41416B case ;D I only need a could sata drives (raid 1) to fit the OS...
Possibly the chipset can decode 16Mbit in which case you'll fit Linux without effort. 8 will require some care in building the kernel but it's quite doable.
right
do they make bios saviors for that size memory ?
