The SiS southbridges should be supported, at least the two systems I have here in the lab works just dandy. Could you mail me the output of a verbose boot from 5.2.1 and as far as it gets on 5.3beta7 please ? Have you tried disabling ACPI and/or APIC ? Both the SiS systems here have had very diffrent success with both of those during times... -- -Søren
