All K7s except the very first model (K7 model 1) work, unless your BIOS is broken. Since you have a VIA chipset, you may see spurious IRQ7/ERR interrupts. We don't quite know why, but it's not fatal. Disabling LPT support in the BIOS _may_ help. /Mikael - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
