2.4.6-ac5 and VIA Athlon chipsets
Hello,
It looks like the 2.4.6-ac5 fixed the deadlock feature with ASUS A7V133 mobo. It's been running stable for over 24 hours now. VIA and Promise IDE controllers are in use.
Few remaining features:
VIA IDE still misdetects 40w cable as 80w (I have also changed the cable without effect).
HDD led stays lit regardless of disk activity (this one is new feature since 2.4.5-ac9).
Best regards,
- Jussi Laako

Excellent. I hope soon to push the official via fix to Linus. The other good news is that I now have some official VIA contacts, so where there is a real need information should flow to the right places.

Will this fix (or get closer to fixing) the K7-optimization crashes? (I'm still hoping its something that isn't getting initialized correctly, rather than just a bug. BurnK7/BurnMMX work fine, memtest86 and the MMX memtest work, windows seems to be using the full memory bandwidth, etc.)
