Well...yes there is a reason the GA-M57SLI doesn't really work for me. To see why take a look at Ward's tutorial at http://linuxbios.org/GIGABYTE_GA-M57SLI-S4_Build_Tutorial
The obstacles are obvious from the tutorial.
Not really. Do you refer to the required hardware hacking? Yes, that's an ugly obstacle IMO, but there are a few other modern boards which are supported and which have a standard socketed ROM which doesn't require any hardware hacking at all.
E.g. MSI MS-7260 (K9N Neo), ASUS A8N-E, ASUS A8V-E SE, and others.
