The brand of his motherboard is Shuttle. My shuttle is a FN41 board in a SN41G2 system. I found "rev 1.0" BIOS (FN41S00X of 12/18/2002) on Shuttle's ftp site and downgraded to that, but still no hang. It may be this board never hangs no matter what, or perhaps C1 disconnect was simply disabled in that BIOS b/c there was no option for it in Advanced Chipset Features like there is for the most recent BIOS. Other things about my board. I run "optimized defaults", I don't overclock anything. Processor is an AMD XP 2200+ Does anybody else see the hang with this processor model? I wonder if the hang is processor model or speed dependent? > Does anyone have some input on how to tackle this problem? Unfortunately I don't have tools for debugging nvidia + amd hardware. I would expect that those companies do, however. So encouraging them to reproduce the hang internally may be the best way to go. > buy Len the cheapest broken nforce2 board I can find at pricewatch.com and > have it shipped to his house :) I got tangled in this b/c this board (actually, the reference BIOS for this chipset) had some unusual ACPI related failures. If the failures turn out to be related to ACPI, I'll do what I can to help. But I expect that hardware debugging tools may be necessary before the hang issue is completely explained and solved. -Len - 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/
