[...] I've got one going here and it's rock solid. AGP is a little sluggish, but I'm working on that with Tyan and hope to send a success story/howto to the SuSE list at some time soon. I have had SATA working briefly but am not using the onboard at the moment (I have a 3ware 8506 SATA raid card instead).
Well, at least now I know it is possible.
My memory is 1GB ECC registered DDR333 directly from dallas memory, and I've got 8GB installed with good results on my pair of 246s.
Interesting: you are using 246's but DDR333 memory? I am using DDR400, which may be part of the problem. May I ask if there was any technical reason for going with the 333Mhz parts?
Note that you MUST be using the suse -156 or later 2.4.21 kernel on that board or there are huge problems. Start with that if you're not there yet and see how far that gets ya.
A good suggestion. I just downloaded & upgraded but alas it made no difference. I am still suspicious of an incompatability between this motherboard and memory. A helpful soul in another forum posted this link which I found interesting: http://www.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20040112/index.html
Good luck!
