We have a Druon-700 box based on the "Asus A7V" lspci:

With an Athlon optimized 2.4.[16,17,18-pre7] all programs are getting
sig-11s everytime. Even mem=nopentium doesn't help, using generic i386
code generation seems to help. An Athlon optimized 2.4.4 kernel seems
also to run fine (and running memtest86 for some hours did not showed
a memory error ...).
