SpeedStep / Geyserville lockups?

2001-05-14 Thread Karsten M. Self
Is anyone else out there seeing lockups under 2.2.x (2.2.18 here) with a PIII SpeedStep (aka Geyserville) chip? I've had lockups over the past week I suspect are due to CPU step-speed changes resulting from power source switching. -- Karsten M. Self http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What part

This card is a little quirky yet. I have the same card and it does this nearly everytime I bring it up. All I need to do is # ifconfig eth0 up and it starts working. Even though the interface already shows that it's up, I need to remind it manually to get it to work.
