I'm still pursuing the cause of the Hard Locks on my system.
1.) I have a serial console hooked up. Nothing appears on
the console when a Hard Lock happens. No panic.
2.) Shorting IOCHK to ground on the ISA connector doesn't work
on a ABIT BP6, so I can't force myself into ddb.
The BIG thing is that I now have a sure fire way of forcing
a Hard Lock. Every time I run the distributed.net client
'dnet' the system hard locks. BUT ONLY ON A SMP KERNEL!
I have a non SMP kernel running and things so far
seem stable. Running the system with only 1 CPU is slow,
so it'll take a while for me to be sure.
So the questions now are.
1.) What is dnet doing that is Hard Locking the system?
2.) Is the dnet problem the same as what has been causing
my Hard Locks all along?
3.) What is the fix?
