Re: Via KT133 and 2.4.8 and a hard disk problem ?

[David Grant]

I've had these problems before.  Can you provide a listings of the kernel
errors you are getting?  I'm curious myself, and I'm sure this would help
any developers as well.  Also, is it an old KT133 (with vt82c686a chip) or
KT133A (with vt82c686b chip).
