The 75 mhz bus was built to allow faster This is a 66Mhz bus; apparently it makes no difference, as previously noted here by rhoat_private Here's a quick summary of the emails I recieved. Kernel version is neccessary due bugs in the cpu identification of some versions.. only 3 CPUs that don't freeze (kernel version is there to know if a buggy cpu id is possible). Thanks to all who answered, and maybe you want to email tech_supportat_private and ask for a workaround.
