Hi, > There's a 486 system at my Internet provider that he's set up as a "geek > box" for people to hack on. It's a fairly lame configuration (486DX/4 > 100MHz, 8MB RAM, IDE drives, NE2000 card).

If you are using the CMD640b-chip and have attached devices on primary and secondary channel the system will freeze. Checkout the hackers mailing list archive. > We're going to upgrade it to 2.2-GAMMA next weekend, and hopefully the > problems will go away. The CMD640b-problem will not go away.
