AMD 2.4.17 hard freeze
I don't know if this is related to the "Athlon PSE/AGP Bug" thread since that seems to be openGL related.
I recently built an Athlon 1700+, 1GB DDR, GeForce2 MX-400 AGP system on a Soyo SY-K7V Dragon for a customer. Slack 8 installed without a hitch but once I got the system up and running 2.4.17 the system would randomly freeze. The freezes often happen during kernel compiles but they have also happened under no load at all.
I thought it sounded like a hardware problem but I installed W2k on it the other night and now it has been up for 2 days with no problems.
I really don't have much to offer for diagnostics but I am willing to try anything that is suggested.
The freezes seem to be fairly repeatable and happen on 8/10 kernel compiles. I have tried compiling in init 3 and with no modules loaded but it still freezes.
Thanks for any help,

With the Slackware 8 default kernel (which one they are using, btw?) the system is stable ?

The problem sounds the same but I don't have anything on the pci bus. The nic is in the VIA266 chipset, graphics is AGP

Re: AMD 2.4.17 hard freeze - Update
In reply to Marc A. Ohmann2.2.19 from slack bare.i also froze today (during a 2.4.17 compile). I added the mem=nopentium a couple days ago and there was no difference. Win2K worked successfully for the 3rd day in a row. :-(
after the freezes I almost always have to run e2fsck manually on the partition with the sources -- I assume thats because its such a hard freeze
