opteron problems

[Brian D. Haymore]

I have a couple dozen opterons in house on the arima board and have had no 
such issues as you are reporting.  We did have a tyan in house for a 
couple days but did not give it a thorough test to see what your are 
seeing.  We have been running Suse 8.1 and 8.2 beta on them as well as the 
beta of RedHat WS (Taroon) for x86-64 on those that we have.
