I expect that lots of people are, particularly some Opteron users. I am running RAID 1 on my Athlon64 3000+ system. Gigabyte K8NS Ultra 939 motherboard. > Has anyone installed Linux on this MB?

I suspect a more fundamental problem like bad RAM, CPU overheating etc. Could you test for that? What's a "Sempron 64" anyway? No mention of it at www.amd.com. I thought (some) Sempron processors were Athlon64s with the 64-bit disabled, meaning you could only run i386 linux on it.
