Works out of the box

Mostly supported, Marvell 9128 SATA not supported under Xen

Excellent support for Intel X79 USB-2, ASMedia USB-3, Intel Gigabit Ethernet, and Intel X79 SATA. UEFI install can be problematic, but MBR installation works fine.
Problems with Marvell 9128 SATA3 6Gb/s controller under Xen hypervisor 4.1.2! It\'s not working and causes the system to freeze at boot.
If possible, avoid the Marvell SATA controller.
