Problem is: I've already disabled it and put in an e100 pro. I've even tried putting one SATA drive on the Promise controller and the other on the VIA. No change. I've exchanged the memory for the second time, now it has Dane Elec RAM chips. No effect either. The PSU is an Antec TruePower 430 W, should be ok. By now, I'm actually thinking of installing <OMG>Windows</OMG> on the machine to see what happens. Or Ubuntu. I even installed 32bit SuSE to see if that would help: it didn't. I could buy some Crucial RAM chips, but I'd like to make sure that'll actually help. So if anyone has ANY new idea, please volunteer it (anyone from SuSE have any idea?) Mhy setup is as follows: PSU: Antec TruePower 430W Mobo: Asus A8V deluxe AMD64 3000+ s939 2x 512 MB Dane Elec PC3200 RAM 1x 60 GB MAxtor PATA HDD as IDE 1 Master (GRUB is on this one) 1x DVD player as IDE2 Master 1x DVD recorder as IDE2 Slave 1x 120 GB Maxtor SATA HDD, now on promise controller 1st port, non-raid mode 1x 120 GB Maxtor SATA HDD, now on VIA SATA 1 (I've tried them both on the Via and both on the promise as well, all no change) Ati Radeon 9250 128 MB VGA 2x Intel pro 100 NIC Temperature is not an issue, Bios reports CPU temp at ~30 celsius, mobo at ~20.5 celsius. And yet I consistently get system freezes, I can even reproduce them by doing an outbound ssh connection and then connecting back to my own machine. Doing a few ls -l 's will freeze the machine every time. Harald Milz wrote:

Ok. I found a few references on the internet about people that had experienced lock-ups as well, and mentioned their being something wrong with the kernel module for the Marvell Gbit NIC
No problems here. I used this board with SuSE 9.1 64 bit and now since a couple of months 9.2 64 bit without any network problems. I have the Marvell sit on my Westell DSL modem and another network card to supply connectivity to another computer in the home.
I did have bad problems with the sk98lin driver. My NIS/NFS server serves the /home, and nearly each time I logged into my A8V workstation, it froze immediately. Disabling the Marvell chip and using an RTL8139 made that go away for good.
According to Andi Kleen's comments on this list from Jan 6/7, 2005, this is a known problem but it hasn't been fixed yet (at least not in 2.6.8-SL92_BRANCH_20050216124101-default). This problem seems not to occur with every IP protocol but NFS is apparently one of them.
