| |
I'm running a VIA MVP3 mobo w/ k6-2/450, and I already read some web pages stating that the VIA MVP3 has problem with sound cards and AGP video cards. 2.2.14 just crashes the system anytime (even if I'm not using the sound card at all), but it always seem to happen when the video is updating, or when I'm using the netcard. (both the netcard and sound card are PCI).
I know there's a drivers/pci/quirks.c file to fix some quirks on many mobos, but I'm just plainly not sure it fixes this hanging. The latest kernel, 2.3.47, seems to fix a lot more quirks, but not on the VIA MVP3 chipset.
I'm running the Aureal 1.0.5 drivers. It could be a problem with their drivers, but as I can see, I'm the first to report system hanging with those drivers, so I suspect the chipset of being the problem. My mobo is a FIC PA-2013 upgraded to the latest BIOS (but I haven't tested thoroughly with the new BIOS though; I haven't had the courage to reboot in linux after my system hanged three times in the same day) :) The Windows drivers seems to have a fix on that but still last time it hanged (it's normal!) while I was watching one of those cool A3D demos, but the sound continued to play (unlike linux where everything hanged solid).
Does the 2.3.xx tree fixes this problem? The stock 1.0.5 drivers won't compile on 2.3.xx, though there's a patch made to work on this branch (haven't tested it yet).
