Hi all,
I'm just adding my system as a datapoint.
I have a BP6 with two 366s running at 505 each. I've run it at 366 for
a long time, so I know it has the same attitudes, regardless of mhz. If
someone wants me to test a certain setting, I'd back down to 366 to
remove to OC factor.
I had it on 2.2.12 for a while and it was unstable. Anytime I pushed it
it fell over. Even got some kooky signal errors while building hte
kernel. Now I have it on 2.3.38 and it's very good.
I still get APIC errors on occasion. They don't seem to affect
stability.
I hdparm-ed the HD to use DMA, 32-bit transfers, unmasq IRQ.
The system:
TNT2 ultra w/ 32 mb of RAM.
128 MB on one PC100.
10Gig drive on hda; not on HPT 366. Kernel sees HPT366 correctly,
though.
3COM 905tx NIC: works great.
Creative PCI 128; es1371 rev 7. Just started working due to a revised
driver.
I haven't had a lockup in a few months of week-long uptimes.
I used to use lm_sensors to track temp, but it always was low enough.
So when I upgraded my kernel I got lazy and left out lm_sensors.
I turned off all APM support in the kernel and in the bios. None. I
have to hit the power button to turn it off. :-)
Any questions?
