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

The default Suse 9.2 kernel has problems with machines with 4G or more RAM. The latest update kernel fixes this. Boot with "mem=2G" and apply the latest updates with YOU. Reebot and you are good to go. Works for me. /peter -- Peter Rundberg, peter@gridcore.se Performance Specialist Gridcore AB Aschebergsgatan 46, vån 3 411 33 Göteborg Phone: +46 31 18 21 60 Cell: +46 709 49 02 03 Fax: +46 31 20 32 92 Web www.gridcore.se
