I also saw other threads describing appearently I know - which seems a bit sad as I am actually offering to give away free hardware to help solve it...

It ist a speciicly SCSI thing BTW - it seems to be and external disc controller - though the only ones I have which arent SCSI are RAID. > athlon dual-cores.

You cant do that with the Supermicro board because the SCSI adapter in one the motheroard, so moving it to a different slot is a problem :) But I played around with all the settings I could and neer got it working. The only way for it to go SMP is to remove the SCSI and RAID addapters from the board and boot off the IDE. > Even if it says nothing I have some Tyan Dual opterons and > the MBs have the same chipset the Supermicro has and they > run fine.

The boards can be made to work if you dont have SCSI - but I treat that ist with scepticism. It doesnt necessarily mean it will work for my combination of hardware. -pete.
