This motherboard runs 5.4 very well. I have been unable to get any stability with 6.0-BETA3,4,5. I have had various problems with sysinstall (usually ending up with it freezing whilst installing one of the binary package sets - not rebooting - just freezing). I finally installed 6.0-BETA by first installing into a vmware guest, then dumping the filesystems and restoring them from a 5.4 install on another disk partition. The 6.0-BETA install is still not stable, it freezes after a random amount of time after booting. Any suggestions as to how I might troubleshoot this problem? >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
