I found that in the 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 kernel there a kernel config option called 'AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support' I suspect that this will address many of the issues you're seeing. I've talked with another Athlon64 user who says it's working fine for him. HTH, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
