(see url in > sig), it might be something with the mtrr's, and the kit checks those... It runs OK though the system seems to fail a lot of tests. http://www.homeurl.co.uk/linuxfirmwarekit/results.xml http://www.homeurl.co.uk/linuxfirmwarekit/resources.xml infact the complete contents of the USB thumb drive are here http://www.homeurl.co.uk/linuxfirmwarekit/ If you see my other post, booting in SMP and decompressing the kernel tree on CPU 0 took 1m 35s, and CPU 1 still hadn't finished in 40m when I killed it to run the LFDK. I'm running the latest HP BIOS and I don't think it's possible to put the ASUS one on, any idea what I can do to fix it? Thank you for your help.
