Amithlon on Athlon 64

[Frags]

Having spent ten minutes wading through yahoo trying to join AmithlonOpen, I`ll try asking here instead )
I recently upgraded from a well-supported Amithlon system to an Asus a8v (kt-800pro) which I understood was compatible.  The problem is that now Amithlon won`t boot at all, not even as far as the ball - it`s just a black screen after loading the kernel.  I have tried both Bernie`s kernels and Bombcrater`s latest one as well to no avail.  I do have 2 gig of ram but I`ve tried mem=512m with no effect.  I am using a 9800xt graphics card.  As a last ditch before I give up, can anyone think of any bios settings or kernel options I might try?

thx

Hmmm, I can`t see that option anywhere - maybe I`ll check for a bios update )  At least now I know it ought to work I can keep trying, so thanks for the response anyway.

No luck there - I`m using pata drives and all the onboard hardware is disabled except usb.  Thanks for trying though )

Actually I`ve got just the thing - a Geforce 2.  I`ll have a bash later...
