Have anybody > met with something like this? I have an A7V133 here with a 1GHz processor on it, and have been running FreeBSD and SuSE 7.0 on it no problems. I have one IDE disk in it (20GB) and one 10GB SCSI Disk on a 2940. The only troubles I had with the machine were related to an old ELSA GLADIAC GeForce 2GTS card, which was a known problem. marc.
