I have a MSI K7T Turbo (MS-6330) mobo (VIA-KT133A chipset) and had a go with the 2.4.6-ac5 kernel with Athlon optimisations on. The overall impression is that the combination is slightly more stable than kernels without the Southbridge fix. I.e. I now manage to boot in single user mode, however running anything as advanced as gcc is out of the question: oopses all over the place and also some complaints from the VM-system. I am in no way qualified enough to go hacking around in the kernel myself, but am quite willing to test any patches that might help towards solving the problem. Cheers, Gerbrand van der Zouw
