Asus CUV4X crashed at boot
Searching through archives founded problems respect to CUV4X-* mainboards booting 2.4.x kernels. The messages I did found are about mid 2001, where 2.4.3 was in the throne.
I have an Asus CUV4X board, my linux crash while booting, tested with 2.4.19 and 2.4.20-pre8. Taking the advise from those all messages I booted with 'noapic' but then my second NIC wheren't not correctly. initialized.
I think although noapic "ensures" booting, probably introduces later problems.

I've seen the exact same behavior with my CUV4X-D (2x1GHz) under 2.4.2 (debian woody). In addition, the kernel would sometimes hang around NMI watchdog enable. At least, I think it's trying to
Known problem. Thats one reason why -ac trees had nmi watchdog turned off.

It still crashes with
nmi_watchdogturned off.Running with noapic fixes it but then the system crashes if you access the RTC with hwclock (and probably creates a hundred other problems...).
How can I get this chipset/motherboard supported properly under Linux? I'm happy to test patches etc. on the box. *pleading*
Patience is likely to be effective. The chipset isn't exactly rare being on SMP boards from Gigabyte, MSI, Tyan and Asus, and likely others. I'm betting it will be fixed soon enough. UP and 2.2.x kernels worked fine here if you're really desperate. OTOH, the board is stable once you get past the boot problems... What sort of production system needs frequent unattended boots?
Sorry about this, I just don't remember signing any paychecks for what I know is likely to be a non-issue probably before the next time I actually have to do something drastic, like reboo </copy>
I would like to know if anyone is enduring this problem and if it's currently addressed on -ac tree.
My system (Asus CUV4X, 2.4.19 or 2.4.20-pre8, UP P3 600MHz)

Since more recent bioses appeared the CUV4X ASUS problem seems to have gone quiet (note that we never saw the same reports on other vendors boards with this chipset so it was almost certainly bios issues in the early days)
