taking out the wireless card did not help, but i ran the installer with 
'linux noprobe' and it worked. i had to specify the nvidia sata drivers, 
and it already recognized the onboard lan. however, after 
install(everything went fine), when i reboot, and it tries to initialize 
hardware, it gets to audio and hangs. are there any known problems with 
the onboard sound for this board?
