From Gentoo Linux Wiki

This gives kernel and userland configurations for the Asus P5E-VM HDMI motherboard. The P5E-VM HDMI is a Socket LGA775 (Intel) motherboard with Intel ICH9 chipset, including GMA X3500 integrated graphics with HDMI connector, onboard RAID, Gigabit Ethernet, Firewire, and 7.1 channel Intel HD Audio.

[edit] Initial set up

This mainboard is NOT well supported by the Gentoo 2007.0 CDs (as of 04APR2008). Neither the SATA chipset nor the network adapter are supported by the 2007.0 kernel. The 2008.0 beta1 LiveCD would not boot to test either, so installation was done using a third-party LiveCD.
