the problem is that USB3 chip needs different driver, ohci/ehci drivers
cannot support it, so the USB3 ports are unusable.

I am surprised but I do not see SSD disk nor HDD which are attached to
SATA. Only DVD is visible.

Realtek works (at least dhcp).

So currently it does not seem to be OI ready. Mainly I am surprised by
problems with disks. Probably some minor fix is needed. I am afraid I
cannot investigate it further for now (the system is for games on
Windows and I cannot attach additional disk there yet for dual-boot).

Also I am not sure about Xorg driver for this AMD/ATi in APU. I do not
think it is well-supported (e.g. the latest GParted Linux LiveCD does
not work on it). So you will need to buy some nVidia card.
