For anyone still following this thread, I just had another thought as to what may be the problem (although I have not tried it yet) - SDRAM timing. I am using Strontium DIMMs (hynix chips) which typically have 'lower' spec'd timings. Now the BIOS should pick up the correct timings by reading the DIMM's SPD data so the chance the timings are 'wrong' is probably pretty low, but I'll check. I may even wind the timing down _lower_ than the SDRAM is spec'd at (can't hurt) I'll be a bit peeved if that turns out to be it now that I've forked out another $100 odd for a new MB :( Regards, Graeme _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
