I have a MSI K7T Turbo (MS-6330) mobo (VIA-KT133A chipset) and had a go
with the 2.4.6-ac5 kernel with Athlon optimisations on. The overall
impression is that the combination is slightly more stable than kernels
without the Southbridge fix. I.e. I now manage to boot in single user
mode, however running anything as advanced as gcc is out of the
question: oopses all over the place and also some complaints from the
VM-system.
I am in no way qualified enough to go hacking around in the kernel
myself, but am quite willing to test any patches that might help towards
solving the problem.
Cheers,
