AMD-K7 ATHLON CPU power on board. Elton, I have an athlon thunderbird 1.0 also on a Abit KT7A-RAID that is having random lockups. I have not been able to track it down whatsoever. Pretty stable under psyche and phoebe and many more lockups now with exactly the same hardware. It will lock to the point where I cannot ssh to the machine. I have had an unresolved problem since 7.2 with the southbridge issues but this is really pushing me towards a new motherboard and chip. -- Matt Whiteley <matt-whiteley@xxxxxxxxx>
