!! IDE Controller
The ATA100 support for nforce2 boards is mature in kernel versions 2.4.24 and 2.6.3. Just be sure to enable the kernel's nforce2 IDE driver.
-!! ACPI and APIC
+!! ACPI
The 2.4.25 and 2.6.3 kernels support nforce2 boards' [ACPI|http://www.acpi.info/] (Advanced Configuration & Power Interface) implementation. With ACPI and its thermal zone support enabled, userspace programs (e.g. gkrellm) can display the CPU temperature.
-The 2.4.25 and 2.6.3 kernels support nforce2 boards' [APIC|http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/datashts/290566.htm]. However, due to a lingering
hardware defect (the C1 disconnect bug) most nforce2 boards will
frequently freeze when the kernel's APIC/APIC-IO support is enabled.

The 2.4.25 and 2.6.3 kernels support nforce2 boards' [APIC|http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/datashts/290566.htm]. However, due to a some poorly understood
hardware?
defect (the C1 disconnect bug) most nforce2 boards frequently freeze when the kernel's APIC/APIC-IO support is enabled. Here is a website that provides more details: http://atlas.et.tudelft.nl/verwei90/nforce2/index.html
The word on the linux kernel mailing list is that shuttle's nforce2 boards have a recent BIOS update that addresses their APIC freeze issue. While recent progress seems to be happening, my ABIT NF7-S (rev2) board still freezes with kernel 2.6.3
