[Openchrome-users] Fw: serious problem: possible memory corruption

[Hindrik Hettema]

This looks more like the "VIA board deadlock" problem analyzed
thoroughly amongst others at the VIA-ARENA forum. DMA-wise something
seems wrong with these VIA-boards (bot J7F2 and J7F4). Some people blame
the temperature, but not so.

I myself had one "hang" with not even X-windows running, but that is
very rare. Many interactions on X increase the chance.

I gave up, as no remedy except disabling totally DMA seemed to help (and
thinking about changing the computer already for a very long time now).
