I've been researching the IDE/DMA/Linux issue that appears to plague the VT8235 southbridge. Seems there is _no_ reliable fix for this issue, [...] Reliability is a huge thing for me (hence the use of Linux). The Epia board is bound for Ebay.
Somewhere I have read, that disabling the acpi function in the kernel solve many problems for the epia. I use an Epia-M for myself and it works stable, without acpi.
Somebody on this list recommended me to disable ACPI in the Linux kernel. This had solved my kernel panic on EPIA ML. Eric, please try to disable ACPI, even if it is merely a workaround.
Any ideas why kernel ACPI works with factory BIOS but panics with LinuxBIOS on VIA EPIA ML?
oh, there's all kinds of fun possibilities :-)
possible the ML says 'tweak this bit' and the bit is set up wrong on LB.
ACPI is Yer Basic Shoppe of Horrors
