Re: Problems (lockup/hang) with PCI-X slot on X5DPL motherboard

Is there a way to find out bus speed for other slots/cards?

so do the other slots work okay with your MV card? The supermicro systems
had tons and tons of ACPI table problems, so you may want to look closely at
your dmesg and / or try acpi=off kernel boot line.


In general, yes, though I just had a lockup with this new MV card in my test system. Otherwise, my X5DPL-TGM with on MV card in slot 4 and one Intel GigE in slot 5 has been quite stable.

If you think you're having a network problem posting to
netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx would be good.

I think it's only related to device/bus issues, not in general.


Thanks a lot for the reply. I'll be trying to turn down the bus speed in the BIOS to see if that help.
