Since a probable cause was found for the VIA chipset, is there any way for me
to check if my board is having a similar problem? I have tried using an
older BIOS version, upgrading to 2.4.10-pre14, and even applying the VIA
patch, with no effect on my problem. When the kernel is compiled with the
Athlon settings, absolutely nothing happens after LILO uncompresses the
image. The keyboard and powerswitch also stop responding and I am forced to
do a hard reboot. k6, ppro, and i386 settings let Linux run without errors
for days. Thanks for CCing me the info as I am not subscribed to this list,
