machine locking up when setting time

Hello all

I am having a strange problem. I have installed a new motherboard, a
soyo dragon , and am running suse8.

When I try to use either the netdate or rdate command to set my time the
machine locks up. All else is working as expected. I am not overclocking
or doing anything else out of the ordinary. My other machines are able
to set the time with no issues.

help : )
