While attempting to compile a kernel (2.0.33), I found that the
chipset bugfix options (CMD640 & RZ1000) were causing a problem during bootup.
My ISA sound card would pop and Linux loading would freeze up. Without
the bugfix, bootup is no problem.
I have a Triton P5 PCI (VX) Motherboard, Intel 120 Pentium S, 32 meg/ram,
TBS-2000 PnP Soundcard.
According to the motherboard manual, the Intel 430VX PCiset chipset is
used on my board, so I assume I don't need the bugfixes. However, the
default during kernel configuration is to install the bugfixes and the help
files say, "if in doubt, install".
Is this a "bug" in the "bugfix"? If so, how can I confirm it, and who
would I report it to? I removed both bugfixes, so I'm not even sure if it
was one or both that was causing the problem.
