Thanks, I have known about this for a while, and after speaking with the author, have taken his suggestion to hang off porting this one for a little bit until they have sorted out a few issues. I plan to revisit this again over the next couple of weeks as I am currently on leave, but getting the Linux binary version working on the AMD64 nForce3 boards should be trivial as it varies very little from the i386 version, so I would like to get that working first.
