I have an extra intel board plugged with a C2D E7400 that I've planned an all around server for local use.
Inititally trying to install debian AMD64 , on boot the system does not even recognize the disk. But it will and has just installed sabayon AMD64
Although sabayon is known for using the latest kernel as well as just about everything else 'just out and stable', this setup is not new. Which means nothing i understand.
