Hi, Thought this might be of interest to some! I recently bought a Iwill P55XB2 motherboard with 430TX chipset. When trying to install Slackware 3.2 the machine reboots even before the intalation starts (just around the bogomips message). The motherboard I bought has BIOS version 16. June 1997. Since one of my freinds have a perfectly ok running linux system based on the same motherboard (BIOS version 30. April 1997) I decided to "downgrade" my BIOS. AND IT WORKED!!! So, if you have a similar problem, for one of the Iwill boards do try to dowload another BIOS version from ftp Iwill.com.tw and flash it to replace your current one!

Hi! Are you using an AMD K6-processor? In that case, take a look at http://www.creaweb.fr/bpc/k6bug.html /Henning >When trying to install Slackware 3.2 the machine reboots even before >the intalation starts (just around the bogomips message).

My Iwill P55XUW equipped with an Intel Pentium does exactly the same thing (reboots at the delay loop calibration). I have no idea why, but I've just downloaded the latest Linux kernel. I hope the problem's solved there... We'll se... Regards, Jakob Roland Andersen - roland@comports.com
