wow, it only took me only 3 hrs to pre-brick the Asus A8N-E I got at ebay for €22.
I would have been faster, but the ROM / IMAGE SIZE of the current revision ist stated as 7F00 instead of 20000hex as in the M57SLI target. Once I fixed that I could flash the current revision - and the POST card gives me a steady 80.
I had an issue with the ck408 on this board. I was only able to use a single dimm and I had to comment a line in raminit.c to get the RAM initialized and working with an athlon 64 cpu. Please see following mailing list entry for further details:

I keep you guys informed but the ASUS A8N target is not even flashable currently (Also the wiki - downloadable ROM image is bad size (20000hex required)). I plan to put together a CDROM .ISO file (a remastered dream linux) with the LB tree and ready-to-flash working filo-ROM-image. should be a quickie. --Q
