This is the same problem that I have attempted to report with regards to the 
Athlon processors. It's especially nasty when you mix scsi modules + the ide 
stuff. I hard compiled everything into the kernel before, but I still have 
problems.

Just now my computer crashed when I was attempting to mount my floppy drive. 
In fact, it crashes all the time (when in X) when I attempt to mount my floppy 
drive during or after high IDE activity.

Hi Andre, hi list!

I'm also having random lockups with an ASUS A7V266-E Mainboard, Athlon
XP 1800+.
Chipset is the VIA KT266A, kernel 2.4.18 (SuSE version 2.4.18-58, from
SuSE 8.0).
Nothing in the logs.

Andre, could you verify your possible answer? Any results?

Thanks, Richard

Hi Josh,

I think I have an answer why the crash but I need to verify with a client
as we are seeing the same problem on various VIA boards.  The good new is
we found on board that does not do this nasty.  So we are doing a
component wide comparisong of settings.

It is a really cool and smart embedded server found at

	http://www.nit.ca/

I think I tried the pentium stuff, but that would freeze up the computer 
too (the HD light comes on, and nothing else works, not even ping(!)) 
But I think that was for a <=2.4.14. I should try it again.

Here's the output of lspci:

New news, I got up this morning and the computer was frozen again. This 
time, I compiled in the kernel (not as modules) SCSI, SCSI CD, SCSI 
Disk, PPA, completely removed ide-scsi stuff, compiled in ide-cdrom. So 
I took ide-scsi out of the loop altogether.
