I am using a A8N-VM right here as a server and I had to acpi=off to get stability. I, too, avoid VIA chipsets like the plague due to their history of unstable and high latency PCI performance. I could not believe that Tyan actually used one of their chipsets for one of their server boards. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
