Tyan s4882

Folks: We are still having significant problems getting these quad boards with 16 GB ram to work with SuSE 9.2 pro. We have verified that they work using other distributions (RHEL, and a few others). Symptoms are kernel panic immediately after boot menu when more than 1 processor is installed. Symptoms are consistent across multiple units (Tyan transport tx46's). Disabling USB had no effect. Has anyone had a similar experience that they have successfully dealt with? If someone has this board, with 4 CPUs and 16 GB ram, could you tell me what your bios settings/versions are for some key items? Thanks. Joe
