In my point of view, vp2 is fully compliant with the driver,( although I
never tested it!). In fact nobody never complained!
I am quite sure that this chipset is udma compliant (have a look at
http://www.via.com.tw/products/prodvp2.htm ... I don't see any reason why
it doesn't work. fifo setup has nothing to do with that.
How do you run it (which is your processor speed? I saw misbehavior with
early versions of 586b south bridge while running cpu speed > 66mhz!).
In fact, I don't figure what your misbehavior might be (the title stands
"mozilla+XFree86+Linux-2.1.x => HARD LOCKUP (addition)". Is this meaning
that these difficulties occur while heavily loading the system?
Could you send me a copy of your "cat /proc/ide/via" or so, and a copy of
boot and error messages, please?
While waiting for some other clue...
cheers,
Michel Aubry.
