I am in much the same situation as you (want to deploy Epyc, waiting for
SM stuff to become available). I currently have here a set of parts to
make a test Ryzen box, so you are ahead of me on that though. Should
have that gong this week I hope.
Are you running the latest STABLE ? There were some patches for Ryzen
which went in I belive, and might affect te stability. Specificly the
chnages to stop it locking up when executing code in the top page ?
I'll get back to you when I have done some more testing...
-pete.
