my CuBX /w P3 800 Cumine & BeOS don't get along :(

Does anyone have a CuBX with a pentium 3 coppermine and BeOS 5
installed? Linux works but BeOS crashes constantly and I have some
other weird problems as well.

I need to know because a guy wants to sell me a CuBX-E but I'm not
sure yet how flaky my mobo is since it's running Linux quite OK, even
make bzImage works on a standard RH9 distro except make modules gives
errors.

Any help is greatly appriciated!

Have you tried running CPUBurn yet? (Windows & Linux) "burnbx P" in as
many instances as needed should be what you need to ID memory/board
stability problems. Tried other memory and PSU yet?

No, I tested everything but the mobo in a different PC, BeOS ran fine.
I've tried a celeron 400 in the system and it worked(!), well it
didn't crash (if it does BeOS goes like hw reset!) so I dunno, the PSU
hmmm I think Linux would crash also when I did the kernel compilation
but it didn't...

I'll try the burnbx tough, that's exactly what I'm looking for!

Thank you very much.

PS: good to know the CuBX-E doesn't suffer from the PS bug, I could
find this info on http://members.ams.chello.nl/mgherard/

I have had BeOS running on a CUBX-E with a 1.0 Celeron. In fact I
have had Linux, OS/2 and Windows running on this system. They all run
fine.
 
Super info thanks! I'm trying burnBX but it terminates with a
segmentation fault just like burnMMX :(. I'm using knoppix linux 3.2
and just used a regular make, I just followed the readme.

PS: now testing 2*burnP6, still running for 2 minutes...

Hmmm, I had to borrow a floppy drive cause memtest86 doesn't work from
my LS-120(!). The test started with no errors but when I came back 79%
of the series was completed without errors but the program just hung,
weird.

BurnBX wouldn't compile (segmentation fault) as well as BurnMMX (and
S? what's that?) but two instances of BurnP6 went on for about 20 min.
without a problem, I still could play mp3s on the system without
hickups, is that normal? I thought these progs would *stress* the
system...

But what does it mean that memtest86 crashes without errors?

I'll try to get an compiled version of burnBX, or is someone willing
to compile it for me?

Thanks in advance, as always, without you guys I'l be nowhere! :)

Downloaded cpuburn 1.2 rpm but burnBX and MMX terminated also with a
segmentation fault!?

Wat does that mean?

Memtest86 also hung but without errors, going to try different ram.

More info:

Memtest86 with different memory this time Siemens 133-3-3-3 on
100mhz=2-2-2

Hangs at: pass 74%
test 29%
test# 6
Walltime: 31.12
test: std
pass:1
errors:0

Weird. I'll try if it hangs at the same position. Then I'll test the
mem at longer latencies, I'll test my mem in a different machine and
so on :(

Anybody know what the now error and pass 1 mean and still the prog
hangs?

Check a news archive for references to USB legacy support.
You might need to turn it off in your BIOS.

Hi,
Test itself occupies a small area of memory. Some test is written such a
way the area is rotated for testing every location of memory or some
test does not do that. I don't know what Memtest86 does in this regard.
If it is not rotating the test program within the memory, that occupied
area may be bad causing the test itself blowing up.
Manually set the memory timing very generously and start from there.
