Hi, all. Yes, I forgot to mention 2.6,20 also, which we found to be the same as the -18 kernel. Sorry, to have forgotten. matthew Lionel MOOG wrote: 1) cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource reveals that the timer clock is based on pit by default in the

Exact same problem here! Has been for 3 months. Ubuntu2.6.15-28-k7 is okay as were the -16 series kernels (did not try -17's). I now have to go back to 2.6.18-4-i486 to get it to run and live without smp (I wiped the -16-k7 stuff out [stupidly]). Debian SID /Tyan Thunder 7X S2468UGN /Athlon

Same here: 2.6.18-3-k7-smp or 2.6.18-3-k7 Als0 2.6.18-4-k7-smp or 2.6.18-4-k7. Only thing that works is 2.6.18-3-486 and 2.6.18-4-486. Loses keyboard or mouse input, will sometimes run 10 mins. the lock up. Tyan Thunder K7X 2468UGN all scsi. 2.6.15 and .16's were fine. thank you matthew Dan
