I don't read German though - does the page mention a fix? My machines usually run 24/7 too, but there's this little think called DRI which for some people works really nicely. Some of us are not as lucky though and in the meantime have problems with rebooting our machines. It seems that an ATX power off is not sufficient to get things going again, power must be cut to the main supply for a few seconds first.

This seems like a translation error. The german original reads "Eigentlich für C-Athlons ausgelegt, produziert die Northbridge VT8363A Restart-Probleme mit genau dieser CPU." which roughly translates to "Originally intended for C-Athlons, the Northbridge VT8363A causes restart problems with exactly this CPU." The original article goes on with "Wie Stephan Schwolow von MSI Deutschland gegenüber CHIP Online mitteilte, lässt sich das Problem mit der VIA-Northbridge anhand eines Warmstarts aus dem DOS-Modus oder einem Windows-Neustart identifizieren: Bleibt der Bildschirm schwarz, hat der Chip einen Fehler." Translation: "As Stephan Schwolow from MSI Germany told Chip Online, the problem with the VIA northbridge can be identified by a warm start from DOS or a Windows reboot: If the screen stays black, the chip has an error." As far as I understand it, the problem is only affecting "warm reboots". And I couldn't care less about warm reboots - my machines usually run 24/7 :) Holger - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
