ASUS-A7NX motherboard with nforce2 chipset including nvidia ethernet adaptor.
This motherboard runs 5.4 very well.
I have been unable to get any stability with 6.0-BETA3,4,5. I have had various problems with sysinstall (usually ending up with it freezing whilst installing one of the binary package sets - not rebooting - just freezing).
I finally installed 6.0-BETA by first installing into a vmware guest, then dumping the filesystems and restoring them from a 5.4 install on another disk partition.
The 6.0-BETA install is still not stable, it freezes after a random amount of time after booting.
Any suggestions as to how I might troubleshoot this problem?
