Asus BIOSes are buggy. They cause grief on Linux as well with their broken APIC tables. With Asus products, I have had to set noapic or acpi=off to get a stable box when running Linux. I guess snv_61 has stuff to work around buggy BIOSes? I have heard good reports about A-Bit motherboards (on Linux) if you want to try a cheaper alternative to those solid Tyan boards. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
