I did have some Epox-board and Athlon64 which was not stable (== not even week uptimes) with any memory timings until BIOS update fixed it. Another thing ruling CentOS out from my part is that when i stress test my new hardware, i usually do a funbuild of CentOS codebase which usually works aOK when the hardware is working aOK. lately i have been considering this too little of work as dual-code Athlon64 crunches this codebase around just too quicly (12h or something). This part of 'my unintentional testing' pretty much rules out CentOS-4 distribution being somehow faulty. So maybe it's something triggered with CentOS-4 kernel which is quite radically different now from the vanilla kernel sources? I really don't know. The symptoms are pretty much same, what i did see while, iterating the problems on dyal-core few weeks ago. -- Pasi Pirhonen - upi at iki.fi - http://iki.fi/upi/
