 |

Don't do it. I changed out my motherboard from a kt600 to an nforce2 400 ultra ... had stability issues (read as random crashes) until I removed athcool (which ran fine under via) .... so, this is just a warning

On my Abit AN7 athcool works fine, a bit redundant, thought, since the BIOS automatically activates the disconnect bit.
Instability with the disconnect bit is a per motherboard kind of thing though. |

Hi, when you remove athcool from any runlevel, reboot and exec 'athcool stat', does it tell you it is disabled? I got an NFORce2 Board (no 400 Ultra) and I thought on these Chips it's enabled per default.

For all nforce2 users, you have to use "athcool on fixup" instead of "athcool on".
You can change it in /etc/init.d/athcool.
Good Luck.
