Anyone interested in trying to pin down the bug might
try to reprogram this chipset along the lines:
...
struct pci_dev *dev;
dev = pci_find_device(PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, 0x0305, NULL);
if(dev) {
printk("Trying to stomp on Athlon bug...\n");
u8 v;
pci_read_config_byte(dev, 0x52, &v);
/* set 52.7: Disconnect Enable When STPGNT Detected */
v |= 0x80;
pci_write_config_byte(dev, 0x52, v);
...
}
...
I'm not sure where exactly this piece of code should go.
Anyway, compile K7 optimized kernel with this fix
and give it a try.
