Nope, only 1GB of RAM.

No, I haven't. Like I mentioned above, the OpenBSD drivers seemed to work, or at least did with similar tests. I would need to run the more extensive checks to be positive, but those take a lot of time, obviously. And downtime for the box, a lot of which isn't really manageable, at the moment.

The previous motherboard was an AMD 760 chipset, and it had the same problem.

I can certainly try that - I admit 2.6.20.3 is a little old now. This will probably take me a couple days - tomorrow is the 4th of July and a holiday for me. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
