A few Remarks before to other replies, yes, Nvidia is well known to have
problems with linux. (proprietrary, buggy, incomplete driver etc).

The XFS Kernel 2.4.20-xfs out of the SGI/CVS Repository does not know
about the the nforce2 ide and gives errors, if I enable DMA/UDMA modes.
The common patches for fixing it are working against plain vanilla kernel

The amd7xx driver is not in the kernel visible here. Should it be
visible? (Error in config.in ?)

Best idea - but it is not for private usage, it's for a small series of
cheap performant development boxes. Paralell we requested the drivers
from ASUS/Germany.
