Is anybody running an Asus motherboard (specifically one with 430HX chipset) with 512K of L2 cache? I recently ordered 6 of these motherboards with 256K built-in and an additional 256K on a module and every one will crash FreeBSD 2.1.6 with the 256K module attached. It doesn't seem to have that problem with Windows 95 but I took the module out anyway, just to be safe. The following scenarios will crash it everytime: 512K Cache, MB set to use 512K Cache, BIOS Cache enabled 512K Cache, MB set to use 256K Cache, BIOS Cache enabled If I pull out the module or disable the cache completely in the BIOS then everything is rock solid. The Asus modules have the numbers CM2020R and 964109. Any ideas? Thanks, Tim
