Hello all,

I recently purchased an OEM Pentium III 500 to go into my Asus P2B-DS
motherboard (which currently houses a Pentium II 450 nicely). After I seated
the CPU and switched the jumpers to make the clock 500Mhz, I switched it
on. The BIOS recognized the CPU as "Pentium III 500" and all seemed well until
I hit RET to boot into FreeBSD. Immediately before I got the "booting kernel in
9 seconds" countdown, it rebooted.

Upon rebooting, the BIOS could not initializes the video so all I got was "bios
beep" errors.

After doing this several times with cold shutdowns inbetween (scratching my
head and wondering if I'd bought a lemon), I got this at the same place where
it seemed to be spontaneously rebooting/dying:

   builtin: not found
   builtin: not found
   builtin: not found
   builtin: not found
   builtin: not found
   ... (bunches of these)
   
   int=00000006 err=00000000 efl=00010206 eip=0000dc70
   eax=000912bb ebx=0001c95c ecx=0009497c edx=0000dc3c
   esi=00000001 edi=00000001 ebp=00094980 esp=0009491c
   cs=002b ds=0033 es=0033 fs=0033 gs=0033 ss=0033
   cs: eip=5b 8d 55 f8 52 8d 55 fc-52 ff 75 08 e8 bf f8 ff
   ss: esp=01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00-80 49 09 00 3c 49 09 00
   System halted

Does this mean anything to anybody or is there just not enough to go on? I was
fairly sure that the P2B-DS supported the Pentium III up to 500 Mhz. I've got
BIOS rev 1012 in there (which is only 1 rev behind the current one issued
Apr. 18th). <major stunned look on face>.

If you have any clues, please let me know. I've not found a friend yet with a
Pentium III where I could plug this one into their moboard and see if it
worked. I also don't have a "known good" proc. so debugging this is still kind
of working in the dark.

Thanks,

-Jr
