Anyone running an AMD-based board with a Via KT133 chipset? I've
been experiencing a significant amount of system instabilty (X
crashing, SRPM rebuilds failing with internal compiler errors,
running kmix locking the system) and was leaning toward bad RAM
being the culprit. But as I've been googling, I've found several
references to the KT133 chipset, and the VT82C686 Southbrisge
wreaking havoc.
I'll be updating my motherboard's BIOS tonight (an ABIT KT7A) and
replacing the RAM to see if that helps, but any insight y'all could
provide would be helpfull, especially if your running on a mobo
with a VIA chipset. I'm currently running RH8's stock Athlon
kernel, but would be willing to compile a new kernel if that would
help fix things.
Another datapoint to consider is that RH8 isn't exactly famous for
its stability. Can you reliably reproduce the instability, or is it
seemingly random?
Seemingly random, although going to http://www.backbayguide.com/newwine.htm in Mozilla seems to crash X fairly regularly.
