Hi all, Just got my nforce2 board. and everything is working, sorta. I have tried the normal 2.6.2 tree, as well as the -mm1 tree and both produce the same oops at startup. the system does not quit there, it continues to run with no other problems other than the ones mentioned here. there just seems to be various irq oddities going on with this board. I have seen the emu10k1 driver complain about losing an irq, but I couldnt find that message, and it hasnt happened with -mm1. What would be recommended to get it working 100%? .config is attached. Another oddity is with my tv card, it seems to act strange, with the following in the system log: bttv0: IRQ lockup, cleared int mask [bits: OFLOW GPINT*] bttv0: timeout: irq=486/486, risc=1a60804c, bits: VSYNC HSYNC OFLOW GPINT RISCI bttv0: reset, reinitialize the kernel oops: Badness in kobject_get at lib/kobject.c:431 Call Trace: [] kobject_get+0x35/0x40 [] get_device+0x11/0x30 [] bus_for_each_dev+0x59/0xc0 [] nodemgr_node_probe+0x45/0x110 [] nodemgr_probe_ne_cb+0x0/0x90 [] nodemgr_host_thread+0x14b/0x180 [] nodemgr_host_thread+0x0/0x180 [] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0x10 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 53565755 printing eip: 53565755 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<53565755>] Not tainted VLI EFLAGS: 00010206 EIP is at 0x53565755 eax: 53565755 ebx: c04bf024 ecx: f7d39fa0 edx: 00000000 esi: c02ec530 edi: 00000000 ebp: c02eb2f0 esp: f7d39f48 ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process knodemgrd_0 (pid: 12, threadinfo=f7d38000 task=f7d6f290) Stack: c02279b3 c04bf024 c04bf000 c04bf008 c04bef60 f7d3aac4 c0279fef c04bf024 c04bf000 f7d39fa0 c04bf000 c04befac 00000000 f7d3aabc f7d39fa0 f7d39fa0 f7fa8000 c02ecba5 c04bef60 f7d3aabc f7d39fa0 c02eca70 f7d6a818 f7d3aa80 Call Trace: [] kobject_cleanup+0x83/0x90 [] bus_for_each_dev+0x6f/0xc0 [] nodemgr_node_probe+0x45/0x110 [] nodemgr_probe_ne_cb+0x0/0x90 [] nodemgr_host_thread+0x14b/0x180 [] nodemgr_host_thread+0x0/0x180 [] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0x10 Code: Bad EIP value.
