[rescue] nForce oddities and HP-UX 10.20

Re: [rescue] 1 gb PC2100 DDR SDRAM

It's an old Asus P5N32- SLE SE Deluxe. Hasn't had an official update since
2008 or so, checked :(.
Imagine the Athlon64x2 with the 6150 isn't worth messing with I remember
hearing about oddities, but doesn't seem as though there was ever an official
announcement.

I know I have two sticks of PC-whatever_is_also_known_as_DDR400. Pulled it out
to put in an old Core2, then realized it was DDR instead of DDR2. Let me know
if you still need it. Corsair ValueRAM.

Since old machines have come up, I have noticed some peculiar behavior on two
nForce machines I have.
One is nForce4/Intel Core2 Duo. Memcheck 86 shows things fine, but booting
into Linux AMD64 (couple recent distros) gives a whole bunch of BUG: Bad page
map errors for lots of stuff. xBSD crashes as well.
The other one is a GeForce 6150LE/nForce HP. Works just fine with Windows 7,
but under Linux will switch off at random times. Go figure...Was hoping to use
either as a HTPC.
And on the HP front - have an old Nova 9000/G70 with max RAM. Been kind of
thinking it would be neat to try HP-UX 10.20 or 9.x on it, but only have found
the media for s700, not 9000/s800. Anyone seen it floating around?

The GeForce 6150LE (really: nForce 400 family chipset) is notoriously buggy.
Not just the famous SATA corruption problems, but also PCI and PCIe timing
issues.

I found AMD chipsets more fussy than Intel ones about just the right
RAM. My home VMware box is an AMD 4-core thing, and I have 4 matched
4GB DIMMs purchased for it, of the exact type and speed documented as
its max supported RAM. It will only run with 3 of them fitted.

Anyway, check for BIOS updates. This can help. Worth a shot. If you
can't find where to look, if you give me the exact make and model of
motherboard, and ideally the current BIOS version, I will look for
you. An FCC ID might do at a pinch.
