I am a huge fan of AMD, not only because their processors are cheaper.
Recently, however, I have experienced random crashes on two machines that run AMDs. The crashes seem to be related to IO and happen usually when there is a lot of disk activity. The disks themselves are fine, though, and also the controller appears without problems.
Thus I am logically considering chipset and processor. I can hardly imagine that this is a problem with AMD, but I would like to know from you success and failure stories of AMD processors and Linux.
Thanks,
Are you running an nForce2 board? If so, what kernel? What is your .config?
