I think #2 is because e820h memory detection is not properly implemented on the KT133 chipset, or because of some silly BIOS bug that VIA has not addressed. I have no idea yet why #1 and #3 happen. If any gurus out there have any pointers on where I can look, and what I should prod, I know my way around with a compiler and editor ;) -- www.kuro5hin.org -- technology and culture, from the trenches. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
