Not sure about you board but have you checked Ausus' website for a BIOS
update? I just got done building a new machine with a 800Mhz Socket A
Athlon and ran into a snag. All the install went fine except when
rebooting into the new system (RH 6.2) I got a kernel panic. Upon a little
tinkering I found that RH 7.0 Beta installed just fine and ran, so I moved
the drives to another machine (3 disk raid5 array) and loaded RH 6.2 and
upgraded the kernel (custom build) and moved the drives back to the the
Socket A Athon and all ran fine. Not a 100% sure why but I _think_ it
might be a kernel timing issue with the Socket A Athlon, just
guessing. Oh, BTW the motherboard is a Asus A7V which just flat out
rocks! If you use this board make sure to patch your kernel with the IDE
patch from kernel.org to get the Promise ATA100 secondary controller to
work.
Keep rockin,
Kirk
