Hi,

first the bits.

[1.] One line summary of the problem:
ASUS A7V8X-X LAN/SOUND at random freezes under linux-2.4.20 totally, no response

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
I searched the web on this, but couldn't find anything useful. The only hint was to add the option mem=nopentium to the bootparams. No differences. Most people reported on the sound/lan not found on this board. But the symptom is totally different here. The system becomes totally unresponsible in my case. At random the system freezes totally. No ping, no keyboard, no Ctrl-Alt-Del (it's not commented out). The only possibility is to press pwr on button longer than 4s (power down the ATX power supply).
I contacted ASUS but didn't get an answer yet (maybe they'll look into this ?!).
memtest ran for at least 12 hours without any error. All other hardware checks have been done (cable, memmodules, cpu seated correctly and so on)

[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
kernel

[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
Linux version 2.4.20-4GB-athlon (root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)) #1 Sat Feb 7 02:00:47 UTC 2004

[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)
No Oops, nothing is output

problem (if possible)

Attached devices: none

[7.7.] Other information that might be relevant to the problem
(please look in /proc and include all information that you
think to be relevant):

[X.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds:
I'd like to know what can be done to get closer what happens here. I would like to clear things without switching to 2.6. Maybe someone can tell me how to improve the logging of the kernel so that there is a log somewhere to see what the system was doing prior to the freeze.

Any thoughts are very appreciated.

TIA
