Just out of curiosity, can you drop that to 100Mhz FSB and a multiplier of 8? I don't know about the manual clocking support on EpoX boards, but if you can, it might be good to give it a shot. Most likely it has nothing to do with clock speed whatsoever, but I'm really beginning to wonder. I don't think I've seen a single reported case under 900-1000Mhz, and thunderbirds were made below 900Mhz.
(reason I chose 800MHz is my non-tbird Athlon is 800 and is rock solid) - 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/
