Hey all; I just upgraded my computer recently to: Asus VIA133 motherboard; Duron 900Mhz;
And I seem to be getting really weird problems with my system. Firstly, I compiled a 2.4.7 kernel and I set the CPU to Althon/Duron and everytime I booted it seemed that either the kernel would segfault or some of the startup processes would and aftre the system got booted random software would segfault as well. Like vim would segfault as I was editing or scrolling a file. Now, I tried 2.2.19-reiserfs (with zoltan's reiserfs boot disks) and this didn't seem to happen (that much) and I've tried 2.4.7 compiled for a 386 processor and it seems to work okay. The only problem I've had with these two kernels seems to be with mozilla, in that the run-mozilla.sh scripts sometimes segfaults, apparently on line 72, which funny enough is the opening brace of the first function in the shell script. Which is really kind of odd. But then if I try running it again it works. The problems seem so random and inconsistant that I don't want to blame it on the hardware, but... I just can't figure out what's going on. In my experience with hardware problems, if it were causing segfaults due to bad memory or the motherboard then they would happen consistantly and there's no way my box would be up for the 2 days it's been up now. But if it's not hardware I don't know what it is. Anyone have any ideas or had any experience with asus via133 motherboards?
