Hi,

I (and others) have been experiencing random system lockups on VIA EPIA systems
for over a year now. The lockups happened when ivtv was recording and when the
network/disk load was high. A DMA bug in the VIA southbridge seemed to be cause.

Via is currently investigating this problem and they seem to have solved it. For
those with an VIA EPIA (mini-itx) board, the thread on the viaarena forum might
be interesting.

For the developers: Via's solution is: "the PCI Bus register setting is
optimized to resolve the PCI device request sorting handle" ...

See the viaarena forum:
