I'm running an Asus A7N8X Deluxe (333) with an IBM disk. My machine sometimes locks up, mostly after running for a few days. The lockup leaves the the caps and scroll lock lights on on the keyboard.
Also, the disk regularly gets reset, resulting in very conservative IDE settings (dma turned off, etc). I've discussed this with Thomas back in July, his -tmb kernels were more stable than the mandrake kernels at that time. I'll try the mem=nopentium option. regards, Stefan > I have confimed that with mem=nopentium I can use UDMA66/100 reliably on > the > Abit NF7-v1.2 board with either my Maxtor or Western Digital drives. > > Unfirtunately I can also confim that even with mem=nopentium the system > locks > hard when using UDMA66/100 on the Abit NF7-v2.0 board with either my > Maxtor > or Western Digital drives. > > This leads me to believe that it is an nForce2 Ultra 400 chipset, and or > an > Abit motherboard BIOS issue.
