I just realised I have a similar motherboard (Supermicro H8DAE-2 ) with the same chipset and also a pair of quadcore opterons on it. Check these 2 options in the AMI Bios : Advanced Chipset Control > Northbridge Set IOMMU MODE to 1 GB (unless you have an agp videocard in this system, then it should be set to "AGP present" ) Processor & Clock Options Set Secure Virtual Machine Mode to Enabled Without those settings in my experience linux 64-bit kernel is very unreliable on this system. With those settings it's been running rock steady for 7 years now. (it's my main workstation pc ). LW
