There was a thread earlier this month regarding the Tyan S2885 MB, and 8 GB of memory. I'm seeing a the same problem on similar hardware with SuSE 9.2 (2.6.8-24).
To recap, problems with peripheral devices with limited addressing capability when greater than 2 GB of memory is present.
The latest kernel update (2.6.8-24.10-smp) via Yast fixed it for me. I have a tyan 2885 with 8 GB ram. No need to diable USB (which didnt work for me anyway because of the nvidia driver). Now it all works fantastic. Be aware that if you have kernel-um installed (I didnt even knw I had it until later), you may have have to run mkinitrd manually before you reboot. Mark
