Ok I think you're looking for the folling: In the bios settings there's a setting called 'MPS 1.4' or similar (depends a bit on the exact bios version you have). If you change the value of that it will work (well it did for others, I don't have this mobo myself) I am making tests now, and when i disabled this setting and all wokrs fine. I have made this after read the comments about this issue. Anyone knows what 'MPS 1.4' means? Thanks a lot. MPS stands for "multiprocessor specification" and comes in spec level 1.1 and level 1.4. Somehow there's a "miscommunication" between the linux MPS code and some ASUS bioses for format 1.4 tables. Who's to blame is unsure yet (but it's only on ASUS motherboards :). 1.1 tables are a slightly different format and seem to work well....... |
