Hello everyone. I'm experiencing the following situation. I'm running Sarge on my SX, with a Matrox Mystique 220 card and a home-made 2.4.20 kernel (plus the grsecurity patch). When X goes up I get a CIA machine check (hard error) in the logs.
The computer keeps working just fine (the X system functions correctly and everything seems in good shape), but hangs after a random amount of time, depending on the load in the system. I don't know whether these two things are related to each other... Anyway, even when the machine hangs, I am able to sysrq my way to a clean reboot, so it's oh-not-so-bad (yet). The above spam appears every time I start or restart X and only then. I have now switched to a 3.x server and get no such errors. However, I am considering getting myself a Radeon 7500 and I'd prefer running a 4.x server on it. I've google'd a lot for the past few days and read a tone (or so) of newsgroups postings and have really broadened my horizons, but got no answer to my problem. Soooo... Has anybody out there experienced anything similar? Or, even better, does anybody know of a way to overcome this thing?
