I rescued a P5BV3+ (a super 7) mobo with a VIA MVP3 chipset from the trash
(I know the guy who was tossing it, and he didn't say anything about it
being damaged, just old). I moved my disks over from my old system, and
compiled myself a kernel for it. It's got an AMD k6-2 at 350MHz, and the
memory bus is running at 100MHz. I've run memtest86 for a long time
(several complete passes, one with "extended tests") and found no errors.
The problem is that all the 2.4 kernels I've tried oops under heavy disk
load. A couple typical ones are like this:
ksymoops 2.4.1 on i586 2.2.19-idepci. Options used
-v /usr/src/linux/vmlinux (specified)
-K (specified)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.4.5 (specified)
-m /boot/System.map-2.4.5 (specified)
No modules in ksyms, skipping objects
No ksyms, skipping lsmod

This happens pretty consistently when I run 2.4.5. I haven't tried earlier
2.4 kernels, since I thought it would be unlikely to help.
Luckily for me, 2.2 kernels seem to have no trouble, even when doing ultra
DMA. I ran bonnie++ after running hdparm -m16 -u1 -d1 -c1 /dev/hdc, and it
completed without causing any problems. Under 2.4.5, this always gave an
oops pretty quickly, and the bonnie++ process would be in an un-killable
disk-sleep. I had to reboot the machine to get rid of it.
The precompiled Debian 2.2.19-idepci kernel says this on bootup:
VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xe000-0xe007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA

My 2.4.5 kernel was compiled with gcc version 2.95.4 20010319 (Debian
prerelease). (I'm running Debian woody.)
This is really annoying, because I want to use 2.4 on this machine for DRI
with the 3DFX Voodoo3 I just got for it, netfilter, and raid2... Oh well, I
guess I'll survive with 2.2.19 until this gets figured out. I'm willing to
do some testing on this, since I've got other computers that I can send
email from if this one eats its disk.
