Subject: linux on Intel D915GOM oops

Hi guys,

I've been given a mecer Xhibitor media center machine to try and get
linux on for testing. 

The machine seems pretty much limited to South Africa, however the
setup is used by other companies like
http://www.higrade.com/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=3539 and
http://www.alienware.com/product_detail_pages/DHS_2/dhs_2_features.aspx?SysCode=PC-DHS2&SubCode=SKU-DEFAULT
which use the same mainboard atc. 

for more information ont he mainboard used:
http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/om/om_documentation.htm

I've tried to boot just about every linux distro I can get my hands on
and they all oops at bootup. 

Unfortunately I cannot get to the first few lines (screen cannot scroll
after oops) 
but here is what I can get to : This is booting with Ubuntu
