You could be right about that. I noticed that if you left the machine on and did nothing to the machine, it seems to work withou a problem. I was looking at some other Distro. I know Red Hat is not the place to go. It seems that Fedora Core 2 just reboots my machine. The workstation version of red hat detects an incompatible processor, then reboots. I am hoping to see what the Mandrake version is going or maybe a debian version. Graham Smith wrote:

I have a similiar problem with myepia motherboard. I have an older version. of the motherboard, it is a 933 Hhz version. I find that my system will run for awhile and randomly lockup. It seems to happen more when I am using the X11 windows with YAST or trying to configure the system. I installed the no ACPI and it still locks up. I turned off all the power management facilities and still it locks up . I suspect that there is an incompatibility between the Cyrix processor and the versions they have.
I read somewhere that there is a problem running these chipsets with the framebuffer on. So it might be an idea to turn off the framebuffer and see what happens. When booting try entering vga=normal and see if your problems persist.
I have been using EPIA Mini-ITX Motherboard with SuSE 9.1 as a firewall for over 3 months without a problem. But it is headless and does not have any X11 installed.
