Nice to another one with this new chipset, i have the asus running SMP.
I use the Plug and Play OS setting with no problem. Are you running SMP? 
If so, disabling MPS 1.4 makes it boot with no special options.
ACPI kind of works, but still no event or temperature reading.
 
I run with 2.4.18-pre3-ac2 it seemes to be stable and has support for 
the chipset.

Don't know about the NVIDIA stuff, but i will test it later this week.

[gentoo-dev] AMD 760MPX Chipset under linux

Does anyone know of a patch to support the AMD 760MPX chipset (AMD 762 
chipset & AMD 768 pci set) under the linux kernel?

I compiled in the AMD Viper IDE chipset into the kernel, which worked 
with the AMD 760MP chipset, apparently doesn't include support for the 
MPX chipset though.

Currently, I have to pass noapci to the kernel to boot (although the 
kernel does not have APCI compilied in), also I have to set the bios to 
non-plug and play OS, and have to set hdparm -d1 /dev/hda manually since 
the kernel doesn't recognize the chipset.

I've had it lock up once (using NVIDIA drivers), so I've passed the 
mem=nopentium option (still using the 2.4.16 kernel) so hopefully the 
lockup was just related to what Mr. Robbins was mentioning earlier.

I do as well.

Yes, when I include plug and play, my 3c59x modules loads with an irq of 0
and my emu10k module partially loads, displays a header, then removes 
itself, no error.

What is MPS 1.4? I will try disabling it.

I just switched to the same kernel, and I noticed it did have support, 
although the 2.4.16 did not.

So far adding the mem=nopentium has kept it from locking up, or it could 
be just a concidence, only time will tell.

hmm, strange, I have them compilled in and have no problems, i had some 
problems when
only using PCI 5, placed the usb thing in it and have not problems since.

Intel MultiProcessor Specification v.1.4, what i have read is that it 
should provide extra
some extra stuff over 1.1 as is what we get when not using it.

Im not an expert, don't know if it is something I should be running, but 
i can't boot
with it at the moment, so I don't really have a choice.

Think i came in 2.4.17, but the driver in pre3-ac2  should have some 
fixes to a
general buggy IDE subsystem.

Will try with that, but lets hope ac makes i auto detect i the next -ac.

  I have several boxen that show different amount of weirdness
  (everything from "won't boot", to "kernel panic", to "module loading
  failed") unless MPS 1.4 is off. this happens on all the dual
  motherboards I have access to who support MPS 1.4.  turning off MPS
  has made them rock solid.  (yes, Asus-motherboards, CUR-DLS mostly)

Strange. Currently I have a ASUS A7M266-D (dual athlon w/MPX chipset) All
I had to add was noapic and mem=nopentium for everything to work.

Granted, with the 2.4.16 kernel, it does not recognize my chipset, so I
have to hdparm -d1 /dev/hda manually in order to have UDMA, but that's
about it.
