Hmmmm, I think the dmesg implied Intel parts for 
the various controllers but I didnt have it on 
serial console.  However,  I just got the board 
at the end of the day and didt have time to 
fiddle too much.  I will try and update the BIOS 
on Monday and try a few settings to see if I can get it booting.
