Ok - I had a bad day today struggling with hardware. Having said that
I'm somewhat frustrated with the lack of progress of Linux getting it
right with Asus, nVidia, and AMD processors right.
I still have to run pci=nommconf to keep the server from locking
up. That's with both 939 pin and AM2 motherboards.
This bug remains unresolved:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6975
So what's up with the no progress?
The bug report only references ancient kernels (2.6.15, 2.6.17) How do you know there is no
progress?
