        Are you using a pentium?  Do you have a special chipset?  Have you tr=
ied changing your bios settings to failsafe?

        Have you looked to see if there't a bug fix for your bios?  Have you =
tried compiling a kernel on a differant machine and porting it to you machine?

        I used to have a gigabyte motherboard (486DX266 with PCI bus).  I per=
sonally feel gigabyte bioses are well supported.  I bought another because I =
couldn't get a bios upgrade to support EIDE (off board, and I didn't want to =
by a controller card.  It would have costed the same as a Pentium 133 and boa=
rd).
        I think they're cheap, and I probably won't buy another.

You may want to check out AMD's site first. They have a list of
"recommended" motherboards.

I wound up with a Tyan and a K6-266.  So far, so good...
