I try to boot with the nosmp option to test this and 2.6.20-16-generic just hangs shortly into the boot (no output on any of the virtual screens). Any ideas on how to work around? I don't really see nosmp as a viable solution, but am willing to at least validate it as an option for some. If this is indeed a problem with nforce motherboards, I think it probably needs to get more attention and documentation - as I certainly was never aware of it and sort of just considered that the boards were so plentiful they can't be bad.
FWIW, I do notice that Asus uses Broadcom LAN rather than Nvidia's on their AMD server boards that otherwise use the rest of nforce. I wonder if this is why? Miravlix, do you have any links to threads where this has been discussed in public forum before or is it just your personal findings? -- Random pauses when transferring data at gigabit speeds with forcedeth driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130075 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
