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. Graham Smith wrote:
Just a bit of information relating to VIA EPIA Mini-ITX Motherboard and lockups when running SuSE 9.2.
I've been having problems with SuSE 9.2 on a VIA EPIA Mini-ITX Motherboard. SuSE 9.2 would either lockup solid during the boot process or if I managed to login it would lockup when running programs like MC or YaST.
I initially thought the problem was memory related. But after running the memory test for a day ruled that out.
I appear to have isolated the problem to the power management package. I'm still testing but when the powermanagement is disabled I have yet to have it lockup on me.
I'll repost if I find out further details.
