I run DSL 9.0 on an AMD Athlon 64 2800+. My motherboard is a Gigabyte K8S760, and it uses the Award BIOS.
Have you had any luck?

this is not a A64 problem rather a problem with the r3000z
series, more over it also effects the zv5000z series.
as both laptops share the same internal components.

Yes I was really very annoyed I couldn't get a HP nx9105 (ie a HP Compaq r3000 A64 XP-M laptop wearing different clothes) to boot with either dsl or knoppix or any combination of cheatcodes. I'm told Knoppix 3.7 might do it because of the abovementioned 2.6 kernel.
