Nope, only 1GB of RAM.
Most likely it is some sort of hardware bug that we might
not be able to do much about. Have you tried contacting SIL or VIA?
No, I haven't. Like I mentioned above, the OpenBSD drivers seemed to work,
or at least did with similar tests. I would need to run the more extensive
checks to be positive, but those take a lot of time, obviously. And
downtime for the box, a lot of which isn't really manageable, at the moment.
e.g. if you have some other system with a different chipset it might
be useful to test the SIL controllers in those.
The previous motherboard was an AMD 760 chipset, and it had the same
problem.
I would perhaps also try a newer kernel.
I can certainly try that - I admit 2.6.20.3 is a little old now. This will
probably take me a couple days - tomorrow is the 4th of July and a holiday
for me.
