I upgraded to bios version 1014 (The most recent I could find on ASUS web site) and disabled MPS 1.4 (which I assume means 1.1 is enabled). -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Claxton [mailto:jzc@primenet.com] Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 5:40 PM To: Gordon Gray Cc: linux-smp@vger.kernel.org Subject: Re: Kernel hangs on boot On Fri, 26 Apr 2002, Gordon Gray wrote: > I hope you can help me.

Also... go into the bios settings and look for MPS Level or something close to it and set it to 1.1 level. I have the DLS version of the same MB and did the above two things and it boots the 2.4.17 SMP kernel just fine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Jonathan Claxton __ __ ____ ___ ___ ____ jzc@primenet.com /__)/__) / / / / /_ /\ / /_ / / / \ / / / / /__ / \/ /___ / ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
