What revision of the mb do you use? I am fighting with retailers to get
1.04. Everyone in the US has 1.03... Did you check AMD web site on dualies?
Only 1.04 is WHQL qualified. Also, 1.03 appeared on the site only on Friday.
Before that for about a month there was only one certified MPX mb and it is
rev. 1.04. I wonder, for what reason?

Also, which distribution do you try? For some reason RedHat is missing for
A7M266-D on http://www.keylabs.com/linux/results_server.html#asus....
