I was wondering what kind of memory you all were using for your EPIAs and if anyone has been tweaking things like memory timings in their freebios tree.
I've been using Corsair PC-133 cas latency 2 memory modules (Specs here: http://www.corsairmicro.com/main/products/specs/cm654s256.html ) without modification to any epia code in my tree. However, I keep getting stuck at the "jumping to boot code" message in elfboot with via-rhine and memtest payloads.
I have lots of RAM at my disposal, but would like to know if there's a specific type that seems to work best.
I'm using a single Crucial 512MB CL3 DIMM. CT64M64S4D75.16LT
Works fine. I'm using an Eden processor @ 533 MHz. I have thought about adding another identical DIMM, but haven't done it yet. On a side note, if you order from Crucial you may want to do it via phone. I ordered online using their memory configurator and they sent me a DIMM that was too tall to fit in my Morex case. They replaced it, but it was a hassle.
Regards,
Jeff

I've tried 3 different DIMMs, all of them are no-name (some have marking in Japanese). And all of them worked with EPIA 5000, the one with 533MHz CPU. I've also tried PC133 and CL2 timings when the DIMM should supports them, and they just worked.
