Let me add my voice to the crowd. I have the same MSI K7T Turbo with an
Athlon TBird 900MHz and 256M of PC133 SDRAM, and kernel 2.4.6 runs
rock-stable on it. However, 2.4.7 hangs hard after a day or so of uptime -
no response to pings, can't switch from X to a virtual console, etc. Sysrq-B
will reboot, but other Sysrq-keys (like Sysrq-S or Sysrq-U) don't seem to
work. Unfortunately I am invariably in X when this happens so I don't get to
see ant OOPS text, and there is no OOPS information in the system log after
the reboot.
