Data point: I have trouble with an (oldish) via box too. processor : 0 vendor_id : CentaurHauls cpu family : 6 model : 9 model name : VIA Nehemiah stepping : 3 It has a quite interesting error pattern: It runs rock solid in summer, it has stability issues in winter. It is located in a server rack in a basement, so the weather out there shouldn't make a big difference to the machine. I'm really curious what this might be ... "stability issues" means it does either lock up or reboot, usually without anything on the serial console. Seems to be more likely under load. The periods of time the machine runs can range from hours to weeks. cheers, Gerd -- 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/
