I have tried several of the latest versions of the 2.4 and 2.6 series kernels, 2.2 has not shown this problem. I have tried to remedy this problem by removing APIC support, IDE DMA and explicit support for my IDE chipset (VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT8233/A/C/VT8235), none of which has helped any. On every lockup the IDE disk access light has been steady and usualy a steady tone is left playing out of my sound card. I'm hoping someone here can help me figure out what is going on. This exact same hardware in the exact same configuration ran Windows 2000 for over a year with out issue. To verify the problem was localized to the linux kernel I also ran FreeBSD 5.2.1 for 3 weeks after the lockup problem existed under linux. Thanks for your help, Tyler Riddle ===== "There are only 10 types of people in this world: Those who understand binary and those who don't." aim: TheMastaSpice __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
