I have qualified and done extensive testing on the ASUS Triton board, it does work. To this day I have probably completed over 100 make worlds on these boards. I see you are running a 100Mhz CPU chip, are you also running 60nS DRAM as required by the motherboard book. Have you left the BIOS settings on the default values, or have you tried to speed things up by tweaking them?? > Is there a method of forcing a crash dump in FreeBSD?
