Hi Debian!
This is for info in case anybody googles for this motherboard, by chance.
I bought an EPOX EP-8VTAI 2 months ago with an Athlon XP 2700+
Thoroughbred CPU. (combo less that $100)
I am pulling them out and returning to the old Abit KT7A.
Reason: unexplained kernel panics in the weirdest places at no
particular speed or load or place or temperature.
Yesterday broke the camel's back: I was browsing the internet and Wham!
solid freeze. CPU (runs hot) temp: 46C. Load on the system: nil. CPU
speed: way underclocked at 1.7GHz.
It started right after I installed with segfaults in the compiler doing
a make-kpkg. I use c++ a lot and it never ever segfaults.
Then there would be kernel panics that I caught because I was on a
console screen. In the timer, or a page allocation error.
Who knows whether it is the CPU, the mobo or the memory, not a clue.
