It seems that your 850mhz celeron chip should be running at a 100Mhz bus (8.5x clock multiplier. 8.5*100mhz = 850Mhz) instead, you are feeding it 66Mhz. (8.5*66 = 560Mhz) You can fix this by talking to your clock chip and telling it to change the clock speed. (Which involves finding your clock chip on the motherboard, looking up to see if there's already code for it, or if you have to hack out code yourself using spec sheets. lots of fun.)
when you figure it out, send me a howto :-)
Ron, The old setclock utility can be used to set FSB clock for SiS 630 MBs. I was trying to put the code in LinuxBIOS but I can not find a way to safely reconfigure clock gen when DRAM is up which means I have to put it in the IPL.
