HI All,

  I solve a problem on my asus board last week, i was thinking this info 
would be interresting for you :-) .

I brought an asus motherboard : A7M266-D : Dual Socket A - AMD 762 
Chipset DDR SDRAM.

The board i've got was in bios realase 1004 from december 2001...

When i try to compile the linux kernel for my athlon smp server it hang 
always when trying to initialize apic stuff.

The problem was that my server hasn't an diskdrive to upgrade the bios !
I try kernel from 2.4.18 to the new one 2.4.20 all didn't works with my 
bios realase 1004.

So i download from the asus website the october bios release 1009.
And I burn a boot cd with the executable from a dos boot floppy, the 
aflash.exe and the bios just downloaded.

Since last week with this bios release,  all is going fine ....  

SO DON'T TRY TO USE LINUX IN SMP MODE WHILE HAVING AN BIOS RELEASE 1004.

Cheers,
