Hi,
On 3 similar computers i found this problem:
- Hardware A (two of them): CPU: Dual Athlon MP 2100+ or MP 2400+ Mainboard: MSI K7D Master (AMD Opus chipset) RAM: 2GiB DDR registered RAM.
- Hardware B (one of this): CPU: Quad Pentium III Xeon Mainboard: American Megatrend FX440 mainboard. RAM: 2GiB DDR registered RAM.
- Software Kernel: Any vanilla 2.4+XFS or 2.6 kernel. OS: Debian GNU/Linux.
- How to reproduce: Access floppy drive using mtools or mouting for 2-5 times and the system locks up hard, with nothing responding. On a Computer with CPU activity LED's, those LED's stopped flickering, which means that no single bit continued working after the problem occurs.
- Comments: I was unable to get any OOPS or backtrace since such info could not even be written to the disk or screen. I first though of a hardware specific issue, but since the new Athlon MP's are behaving the same, it seems to be more widespread.
I would try to fix it myself, but i'm too busy fixing my own bugs on other drivers :P
Best Regards
Manuel.
