I was running 2.4.21-149-smp, but now I'm using 2.4.21-211-smp after running YOU (I'm somewhat new to SuSE, so I didn't know about it). The problem is still there though... :( I'm beginning to think there's something tied in with the SCSI subsystem (it died in scsi_do_req_Rsmp once). Are you using any SCSI cards or just IDE? The weird thing is it worked in the Rioworks board using the same SCSI card...

What kernel are you running ? There was a problem with the MTRR code in the 2.4.21-120 kernel you get if you just load from the CDs or DVD that caused driver problems if you have more than 4 GB. I have several S2885s with 8 GB of memory that have been up for months now. They are running the 2.4.21-193-smp kernel and Nvidia 5332 graphics driver. I had a beta BIOS at first, but the last ones that I built are running the v102 BIOS that fixes the MTRR layout that lets the 193 and later kernels and Nvidia drivers work correctly together... I do have one running the v102 BIOS and 2.4.21-201-smp kernel that has been stable, but it gets booted between Windows, RedHat 9, and SuSE 9.0 so much that I can't tell anything about long-term stability....
To get things going when loading from the CD, I had to remove memory to get to 4 GB or less, flash the BIOS, install from CDs, upgrade the system via YOU, then put the memory back in. From there, I could install the Nvidia drivers, and go....
