The first system, based on an Intel D915GUX motherboard, refused to install properly on a serial ATA hard drive<nobr> <wbr></nobr>....
This is no surprise, since the reviewer attempted to install a SERVER operating system on a DESKTOP board. I haven't checked, but I'll bet that Intel hasn't validated this OS on that board.
He needs to try it with server boards, and in the case of Intel, he needs to wait until Intel has validated the OS with its boards. This will take some time, since Intel doesn't start the validation process until an OS is released.
