Ok, I've got it narrowed down a bit. Anyone have experiences good or bad
to report with Tyan versus Supermicro mobos? I find archives for people
using one or the other, so they both seem workable. Anyone used both and
prefer one for some reason? I'm looking at 2xCPU, and maybe dual-core in
addition.
Supermicro H8SSL-based (1x939, used in various systems in 1010A range)
works quite nicely for the main part, though I'm having some trouble
with multiport PCI-X nics (I speculate maybe any cards using an extra
ppb(4), but I don't have any non-nic cards with bridges to check).

H8DA8 board (2x940, used in 2020A-8R) is working quite nicely with
i386 UP, amd64 UP, amd64 MP. Had some lockups (just locked, no panic)
with i386 MP under load. dmesg below. PCI slots on 2020A-8R are low-
profile only so if you want a megaraid to connect to internal drives
make sure it's a 320-1LP.
Heatsinks for rackmount Supermicros are sold separately and the
packaging for those is not the greatest. I've generally been pretty
happy with the kit though.
Tyan - haven't used myself, but they are OEM for some Sun galaxy
server motherboards which have a few users...
