Hi. I've had great success with your VIA 82Cxxx in 2.4test9 on a new system I'm helping a friend setup for his mom. Unfortunately, I'm not having so much luck with the rest of 2.4. Because of general stability issues, I need to move back to 2.2 on this system. However, the VIA 82Cxxx driver in 2.2 (tried Redhat's 2.2.16 RPM as well as straight 2.2.17+patches) doesn't work with this system. As soon as the module is loaded the system hard-locks with no errors, sysrq, or network access. I tried to get a newer driver, but it appears that all your drivers later then the 1.2(?, whichever one is in 2.2.17) are made for 2.3+, and I'm really not up to backporting a driver for a friends system. :P I'd appreciate any advice or assistance you could provide. Thanks. It's a new Athlon board. lspci -vvv: 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 0305 (rev 02) Subsystem: Elitegroup Computer Systems: Unknown device 0979 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort+ >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 0 set Region 0: Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) Capabilities: [a0] AGP version 2.0 Status: RQ=31 SBA+ 64bit- FW- Rate=x1,x2 Command: RQ=0 SBA- AGP- 64bit- FW- Rate=<none> Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- AuxPwr- DSI- D1- D2- PME- Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- 00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 8305 (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz+ UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort+ >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 0 set Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=01, sec-latency=0 I/O behind bridge: 0000f000-00000fff Memory behind bridge: d6000000-d8ffffff Prefetchable memory behind bridge: d4000000-d5ffffff BridgeCtl: Parity- SERR- NoISA+ VGA+ MAbort- >Reset- FastB2B- Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- AuxPwr- DSI- D1+ D2- PME- Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- 00:07.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
