Re: my Asus A7N8X revision 2
I did change my boot command line after my last post and no crash so
far. I changed acpi=off to acpi=on and added in [noapic nolapic]

$ uptime
 20:04:37 up 2 days, 23:43,  6 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
Not doing much at the moment, he he

$ dmesg | grep command
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=linux-2.6.1 ro root=304 acpi=on noapic
nolapic mem=nopentium

I did see a post asking about Asus motherboards on the mailing list.
