All K7s except the very first model (K7 model 1) work, unless
your BIOS is broken. Since you have a VIA chipset, you may see
spurious IRQ7/ERR interrupts. We don't quite know why, but it's
not fatal. Disabling LPT support in the BIOS _may_ help.

This is not ENTIRELY true. Certain hangs and crashes can be caused with
X, APM, and APIC enabled. I haven't entirely tracked it down yet, but I
have seen it on a Thuderbird 800 (FIC SD11), an Soyo Dragon Plus (1800+
XP), and a few others. It goes away if you turn Local APIC's off. This
may be related to some video card issues, but I don't yet know.

I am using ECS K7VZA (KT133a chipset) and Athlon. I
complied my 2.4.17 kernel with Local APIC support. How
do I know is it working or not? I have to use the
performance counter and local timer interrupt feature.
Many Thanks
