Via chipset KT133 and system instability

[Aaron Grewell]

I've got a couple of Asus KT133-based boards (running RH8 no less) and
it seems to run fine.  Are you using the latest kernel RPM?  I had
issues with the shipped kernel that the update solved, though they
weren't on my KT133's.  One was even OC'd for a year or so before sudden
stability problems prompted me to roll it back to standard settings. 
While 8.0 has been the best .0 release of RedHat's I've used I still
don't run it on anything but workstations.  For servers I consider 7.3 a
much safer bet.

But as I've been googling, I've found several references to the KT133 chipset, and the VT82C686 Southbrisge wreaking havoc.

I'm currently running RH8's stock Athlon kernel, but would be willing to compile a new kernel if that would help fix things.
