I  have  an  ASUS P6T SE with a Core i7 and 4gb of ram and it can boot
with 9atom.iso and install. But something is happening that prevent it
to   boot  after  the install (i got a register dump. may be something
wrong happened when doing the format of 9fat :?).  Network also works.
And Vesa works at 1280x900x8 with an ati hd 5750. Monitor is  samsung p2250.

I'll  report if i  get it booting, but i think it should boot if was able
to install and the live cd works, no?
