Thanks for the reply. I updated the bios on the sk8v with the beta version
that was posted on the asus website.
bad news got a cmos error. Went through all the proper steps, called tech
at asus and I fried the bios chip they
are sending me a new one, so next week I'll try this again. But this was a
fresh install, fresh fdisk and I did the first emerge sync and this happened.
You've /gotta/ have something /seriously/ wrong with that thing! MD5s
going crazy, a BIOS update failing (I've /never/ seen that happen unless
the power dies in the middle). There's just too much weird stuff going on
for it to be anything but hardware!
I would also take a close look at the power supply as it can easily be the
cause of way too many weird problems.
