I am running this under 2.4.3. I will be testing 2.4.7 this afternoon to see
if I can fix the problem.
The board works fine with a uniprocessor kernel.
When booking under the stock mandrake 8.0 kernel, I get cascading error
messages about clock problems and blaming a VIA686A chipset.
This has a VT82C686B PCI chipset.
I tried to find info on the web on this and was not ver successful. (This is
at a friend's house. He is out in the middle on nowhere and is lucky if he
get 28.8k connections.)
It this one of the non-correctable VIA chipsets? Is there a workaround for
this?
It is a dual P-III 733 with a gig of ram. I would hate to see it go to waste.
(Actually it will because it is not at MY house, but that is another
problem. ]:> )
I was going to get one of these boards. I am glad I did not...

I have this board with a dual P-III 1 GHz and it works fine
with 2.4.7. Make sure you have at least revision 1007A for you BIOS
(the latest is 1010) and disable MPS 1.4 in BIOS configuration.

The messages about correcting the clock are themselves ok - they will fix
the problem up. It seems to be specific to some VIA firmware. Initially I
thought it might be hardware but it looks like certain SMM events sometimes
corrupt the clock configuration sending it wild

The BIOS version was 1010.
Disabling MPS 1.4 fixed the problem!
Thank you very much!
