Sometimes it requires a BIOS update. When my mobo was new, it could be
used with Linux, but a few BIOS updates were needed, before Linux run

Sometimes we simply don't notice that something doesn't work, because
we simply don't use it, something like...

"Certification notes

    The hardware design of this device does not support suspend (S3).
    Suspend, therefore, does not work."
