This is just a preliminary post.. more to come soon.
First of all: how to properly boot!
If you search in google about how to boot motherboards with recently (or not so recently) AMD 64 procesors you will find that everybody says use "acpi=off noapic" in your boot options but.. that will leave you whitout all the goodies of acpi (suspend, cpu freq, battery status, multimedia buttons, etc...), but after a lot of digg i found some kernel-list thread that address this issue: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/8/251.
In short, there is a problem with the local acpi timer with a lot of motherboards with AMD 64, so just add "nolapic_timer" to your boot options, and of course remove "acpi=off" and "noapic", and you will boot a linux with acpi and acpi enabled :)

Verizon is about the only place you can get the authentic RIM product and matching door. Most other sites are out of stock and even when they are in stock they have the black battery door which looks like crap. new battery
