you shouldn't have to make changes in the kernel in order to successfully
overclock a machine.
that said you're no likely to get much sympathy on this list for
trouble-shooting a problem resulting from overclocking.
the supermicro p6dlh is a 440lx based mainboard and was never desgined to
run faster than 66mhz at all, the fsb speed you have set would result in
among other things 42mhz pci bus on a board that 9 pci slots(5 primary 4
bridged secondary)! The fact thatit worked at all for anyone ever is
kinda impressive, but I wouldn't let that disuade you from returning it to
normal(assuming that possible) before trying to use it.
