Hi,

I have the M2NPV-MX (same chipset but without the Firewire port and it 
doesn't ship with the TV-Out card) and haven't had any luck getting hvms 
started either. On my case, I never get any SDL window nor can I connect 
through vnc. My domu hangs idle immediately.
Erwan Mas has also wrote about problem with this MB. Maybe you can check 
his post:

and see what we can do.
Greetings

Andreas
