Ok...I've compiled a few more kernels, played a lot with CMOS settings, locked up a few more times, and it seems that my problem is that my Tomcat II just won't run reliably with the BSD NCR driver if I have "Chipset Special Features" enabled. Other settings don't appear to make a difference, and I can run with or without CSF with the 53c7,8xx driver with no problems. Anyone have a clue on this one?
All the manual says is:
Chipset Special Features When disabled, the chipset behaves as if it were the earlier 430FX chipset. This option should be enabled for best performance. The default is enabled
Anyone know what I lose by disabling this option?
I'm going to put it into a kernel compile loop now with 2.0.21-bsd with CSF disabled and see if it can make it through a hundred or so compiles while compiling a few other things as well.
