[2.6.x] Asus K8S-MX very unstable with Linux

[2.6.x] Asus K8S-MX very unstable with Linux

[Shawn Starr]

Anyone have this board? I'm about to try 2.6.12-rc3 on
it to see if DMA works (if not there is fix on
kerneltrap), if the onboard NIC works, If the onboard
SATA controller is detected or not.

It's a very new board and I'm experiencing serious
failures (3 different kernel panics from a RHEL4
kernel alone). 

I'm curious to know if anyone else has had problems
with this board.

Thanks, 

Shawn.

I've had this board for a couple of months now. The only problem I have
is that the onboard NIC doesn't work with the sis900 module. And then
there's some messages in dmesg that have so far not caused me any problems:

SIS_IDE: probe of 0000:00:02.5 failed with error -1

Losing some ticks... checking if CPU frequency changed.

With some kernels (I'm sure about the one that came with ubuntu, but
also with at least one other x86_64 distribution) dhcpcd didn't work
with the tulip card that's in there now.

I've never had panics though. I'm running vanilla and gentoo 2.6.11 and
12-rc3 sources on this board.
