Thanks to all who helped. My problem turned out to be that the
SCSI card was conflicting. And, one that perplexes me still, I had
to use the new serial cable even though the old one worked when I
took it out of the system. Between those two fixes and adding the
mem line again, it all works.
The box will perform better if it can cache all the ram in l2 cache,
otherwise it has to go to system memory which is slower. The tx chipset
(which the abit tx5 has) can only cache 64mb.
A good non-PII chipset is the via vp2 (also known as the amd640). It's
a socket7 board that can cache up to

Well I have SDRAM which is 10 nanoseconds and cache is what
5-7 nanoseconds? Not much of a performance hit unless I'm
missing something. I don't know much about this kind of stuff
though, so please feel free to point out any error in judgement.

PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips,
Vicki, a couple of comments:
1. If this is an intel 430TX chipset based board then you're never going to
be able to cache more than 64Mb of your RAM. There is a performance hit in
this uncached memeory; and it's one of the reasons that I've stuck to my ASUS
XP55T2P4 v3.1 motherboard. On th

You may wanna add append="mem=128M" to lilo.conf, the syntax you have is
incorrect. This may be the problem but I can't say for sure since I

Hi all. I bought an Abit TX5 motherboard this weekend with 2
64MB DIMMS. It appeared to work at first, but there were
IRQ conflicts and it didn't see all the memory. I got rid
of the IRQ conflicts that were reported by the BIOS and
was able to boot the original kernel off of the Redhat 5.0
