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. I 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, that worked for me.
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.
We run fine with a lot more memory on other AMD64 systems. But it could be some board or BIOS specific problem You could try to boot with mem=4G or somesuch and see if it helps. Also you could try to see if a 32bit kernel boots (not install, just see if it sucessfully initializes the CPUs) Also does booting with nosmp or noapic work? -Andi
