| |
Hiya,
I have an AMD Athlon 1.2 with a VIA 8259A Chipset (see bottom). If I compile the kernel with the Athlon option it crashes all the time. In fact, I can't even get Redhat 7.2 installed without a core dump when it tries to mount the filesystem. With the later kernels, it doesn't core dump, but just freezes.
IE: If I have ide-scsi module loaded, and I try to access the floppy drive, it locks up the machine (regardless of whether cputype is Athlon or K6.)
IE: Updatedb locks up the machine.
I get (when FSCK):
spurious 8259A IRQ7
Does anyone know if there's a bug fix for this chipset? My board is made from FIC (crappy, instructions don't even matchup). I used to be able to fix it by changing the CPU type to K6 but that doesn't work now with the later kernels (2.4.15 and up.)
5000-500f : VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 [Apollo Super ACPI] 6000-607f : VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 [Apollo Super ACPI] c000-c00f : VIA Technologies, Inc. Bus Master IDE
