It appears that the 64MB DIMM shipped with the card is the problem. Specifically, it seems any *registered* ECC DIMM will exhibit the problem. The fix appears to be substituting an ECC but not registered one of 128MB or bigger. I tried reproducing this, but I've only got registered ECC or non-ECC DIMMS. Trying a non-ECC worked perfectly *once*, and then the card refused to load the SX4060 BIOS thereafter... so the indicated solution looks promising (intentional pun). If I can get hold of an ECC unregistered DIMM I'll check properly. Thanks to Freddy (freddyk at volja.net) for finding this out. Incidentally (and disappointingly) no thanks at all to Promise support who gave him the single fingered salute when he asked them about the DIMM issue.... regards MarkReceived on Sat Feb 24 2007 - 20:41:33 UTC
