Re: Linux 2.4.3-ac9
Alan, This does not seem to fix the problem with "clock timer", which repeatedly prints the following message: probable hardware bug: clock timer configuration lost - probably a VIA686a motherboard. probable hardware bug: restoring chip configuration. The machine does not get any further than printing the above message. This message only appears with an SMP kernel, there are no ide devices in the machine. a generic 2.4.3 kernel works on the machine. Thanks.

Re: Linux 2.4.3-ac9
This particular motherboard is an ASUS CUV4X-DLS, the chipset is a VIA694XDP, the IDE chipset however is a VIA686b. I've seen this in all the kernels I've tried with the "ac" patches. Any kernel I've tried that are NOT SMP work fine.

2.4.4-ac4 and menuconfig
when building with 2.4.4-ac4 and using make menuconfig, the options in "Processor type and features --->" are not changable. other options seem to change fine. -- Jason Thomas Phone: +61 2 6257 7111 System Administrator - UID 0 Fax:+61 2 6257 7311 tSA Consulting Group Pty.
