I assume that this dual boot boxes (with win9x/win2k) and linux ?
I have little thing to try you :
reset/clear cmos - go then to bios and set values (like cpu speed at least)
and then boot linux. It will work for just fine. I see such behaviour when
I boot to win9x (with VIA latest drivers installed) play games ...
For example unreal tournament. Then boot to linux ... I get tottally unstable
box. It maybe doesn't crash in 30 seconds ... but as for example i weren't
able to compile kernel . Just lock up ... Even faster if I do that under X11
(I mean in xterm).
After I cleared/reset BIOS ... everything went back to normal. I have uptime
about two weeks ... That me leaves wondering what does VIA drivers do to hardware so
that linux can't handle that afterwords ????????
Any ideas ? (tested several times just be sure ...) Now I'm tired to clear/reset cmos
everytime after I boot to windows ... and back to linux.
