Okay, so it's been a long day. :-) This was one of the few things that was correct - he still had his cache set wrong and a jumper mis-set. And actually, I would also run this at 75Mhz until I was sure of the chip - my friend Chuck got a "DX4/100" recently which didn't behave at all well with FreeBSD; same symptoms as Marc's. Then we clocked it to 75Mhz and it worked (and has continued to work) smoothly. We looked at the chip again more closely (we had to peel the stupid sticker off of it first before we could read the numbers) and found that he'd been sold a DX4/75 as a DX4/100. A lot of this kinda thing going around. Jordan
