LOL, I'm in Sunnyvale, CA right now. I work for Ensim.Com.
OK, here is all the technical info on my box. Sorry it took so long to
respond. Had a department meeting to attend.
MSI 694D Pro running Dual FC-PGA PIII-733 CPUs with 1GB of Corsair RAM.
HDD is a Western Digital WDC300BB-00AU1 ATA100 drive (running it on the
VIA controlled ATA33/66 controller since the kernel doesn't support the
ATA100 very well.)
Chipsets are the VIA VT82C686A and the Promise PDC20265
NIC is a NetGear FA-310TX
Advansys UW SCSI Card
Yamaha CRW8424S CDRW
Voodoo3 2000 AGP 16MB AGP video card.
APM/ACPI turned OFF in BIOS, NOT using the ATA100 controller
Symptoms: Consistantly recurring kernel deaths resulting in hard lock of
box.
