[...] Hi Jason, I had to configure nvnet on a A7N266-VM once, and I went through this very same hell you're describing. Fortunatelly, there is a solution. Take a look here: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/1.0-0261/ReleaseNotes_Linux_nForce_1.0-0261.html#module_parameters IIRC all you have to do is play with 'optimization' parameter (I guess you have to set it to 'CPU optimization'). Adding this to /etc/modules.conf should do the trick: options nvnet optimization=1 Hint: run 'modinfo nvnet' as root and you will get a simple help. HTH Andre -- Andre Oliveira da Costa
