100 and 133 FSB

Hi. We just purchased a supermicro DLI motherboard and we put a 933MHz PIII cpu in it.
The default bus speed in it was 100MHz we did not realize when we first installed. After installing linux we saw that BIOS and linux only recognized the CPU as 733MHz! The customer obviously thought we were ripping him off and started to complain. We switched the jumper to 133MHz, and it went to up to 933 where it belonged however redhat 7.1 and 7.2 would not install... it gave errors about mounting the root fs (even though there is none in an install?) ... anyone?

Thanks
