There are a couple of threads in this forum indicating that the latest system bios for the EPOX boards may have some problems. You might want to read them to make sure you're not in the same situation.

andy, will using rh9.0 avoid this prob?
I'm using 1/17/2003 version and still no luck, 1/29/2003 also no luck..........
I wonder what's wrong with it?
so if using rh9.0 won't solved this prob, is that mean i won't be able to use rh9.0 on my system? coz, as what i know is the newest driver is the only driver that works on rh9.0 ........

i tried the newest driver again, and it crash my system and after reboot, my mdk9.1 acted strangely, such as :"locale command not found", etc........
