Here's the thread that I was referring to: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0111.1/1176.html It's from back in 2001 so you'd think that this problem would have been fixed by now if was important to enough people. I can't find any newer references to this issue. I don't know much about the different flavors of Cyrix/Via chipsets. It may be that the MediaGX is the only one affected by this problem. I just know that disabling PCI support fixed (hid?) the problem for me. :-) Wally Wally --- Heiko Zuerker <hz...@pr...> wrote: > > Aren't there any fixed available by now? > Disabling PCI is not really acceptable for > everybody. ;-) > > cya > Heiko > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: > The Definitive IT and Networking Event.

I bought one in 1999 300 MHz, TV output, and I did get SuSE running on it. I personally had great hopes for this chip, and National Semiconductor did too. But they had problems and let Cyrix languish. It just about died and VIA had a hard time sparking it up again. Now the have a nice board for set top boxes that is also good for super computing too. Thats the LinuxBIOS group. The govt sponsors this so we can get better weather forcasting and maybe biochemical modelling to make medicine. Here are some links: sourceforge.net/projects/epiafb http://www.viavpsd.com/product/epia_m_spec.jsp?motherboardId=81 The VIA EPIA Mini-ITX mainboard brings the industry's smallest, most highly integrated, and most flexible x86 platform to OEMs and System Integrators Measuring just 6.7 x 6.7 in. (see photo), the VIA EPIA Mini-ITX mainboard is 30% smaller than the smallest Flex-ATX platforms, while maintaining Micro ATX chassis compliancy. http://www.linuxdevices.com/cgi-bin/printerfriendly.cgi?id=PD9266751279 http://www.linuxbios.org/index.html http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.linux.bios http://www.cwlinux.com/eng/products/products_sbc.php http://www.linux-eden.org/content-pages/home.html http://www.minervatech.net/reviews/silent_demo/ Heat Pipe cooling http://www.cheresources.com/htpipes.shtml http://www.thermacore.com/pdfs/silent.pdf. --- Wally DL <wal...@ya...> wrote: > Here's the thread that I was referring to: > > http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0111.1/1176.html > > It's from back in 2001 so you'd think that this > problem would have been fixed by now if was important > to enough people.
