Have you tried MSI's K7D's new version 1.82 BIOS?? http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=73&NAM E=MS-6501 I'm personally not going to bother. But you may have better luck. I know that the 1.5 version BIOS still had the same issues. And since I tried for almost 3 months, trying to get it to work with Linux, without it having to hard lock the system all the time, and at random intervals. I'm happy with the Tyan board. And I'm going to stick to it, now that everything is working as it should have with the K7D. I don't know WHY, but the hangs and lockups only appear to happen with the SMP version (Build) of Linux. The single CPU version seemed to work ok, but that defeats the purpose of having two CPU's if you can't use them.

I would be interested to see if _anybody_ has been able to use this board with Linux. Over at MSI's disussion forum there seems to be plenty of problems with the board and Linux as well. /Björn On Tue, 24 Jun 2003, Wolfgang Gill wrote: > I don't think it's a chipset related thing in this case.
