Hi Vladimir,

Just spent a few hours working on the system again and I am pleased to say
that I've got it working at last.

For anyone else having trouble with a CUV4X-D[LS] motherboard, the most
important things to do, I think, are:

- Upgrade your BIOS to v1010 from http://www.asus.com.tw
- Upgrade to Linux kernel 2.4.9
- Disable the secondary IDE controller in BIOS setup (Advanced > Chip
Config), and configure any IDE drives manually rather than leaving as Auto
Detect.

I'm running RH7.1 with a CUV4X-D (dual P3 800EBs), an Adaptec SCSI 29160 PCI
card with a Quantum Atlas as the boot drive, plus a IDE CD-ROM drive on the
primary master, and it's now happily booting up every time with no problems.
(I'm *not* running with 'noapic' or with MPS 1.4 disabled.)

Phew :-)


Cheers

Simon Garner
