I had sigsegv problems with two boards. Both cleared with mild
underclocking(95% rate0. Both were FIC PAG2130 with VIA MVP4
Chipsets. Now that you mention it, I had a Soyo with intel i810
chipset that required certified memory and underclocking to
work--even in windows.
PC133 memory and 133 Bus clocking often overdrive the AGP or put
it into a fall-back to 66MHz... At this time, I don't think 133
is ready for prime time.
Try backing off the bus clock. The timing requirements of 7.1
are pretty narrow windows around the specs in several areas,
especially IDE and main memory. Slowing down slightly, like from
133 to 124, might give it the space needed. (And it will
certainly make your system more reliable).
The speed of a non-working computer is irrelevant.
