Hello, I downloaded and installed Suse 8.2Beta. Straightforward install. No issues (other than having to turn off APIC - same for all other distros). The machine was up for about a week and a power problem required it to be shutdown. Now when I reboot the whole process hangs at the intialization of cpu #1. have the same problem (with also a tyan board), unfortunatly i haven't a Solution other than that it probably will boot with only 4GB, at least,

I think it is the tyan board, a tyan tech i spoke to last week also said he had heard of more problems concerning linux and +6GB installed.
I will attempt to answer all of the questions posed in the emails received thus far: I haven't tried with >6GB. I will attempt it. The unit is on a UPS (this is what had the problems) and so it went down unexpectedly. I was able to boot with a 32bit kernel (ClusterKnoppix) and I did an fsck on the disks - all partitions passed without issue. The IOMMU option is (and has been) enabled since the beginning. I found it to be important. Set to 'Best Fit' with '64MB appeture'. I have booted succesfully with other nonsmp kernels (not SUSE so far). The failsafe kernel is having the same problem as regular SUSE kernel.
