Hi,

I just bought a PPRO 200MHZ , Asus motherboard XP6NP5 with the chipset
chip0 <Intel 82440FX (Natoma) PCI and memory controller> rev 2 on pci0:0
and 32MB of RAM.


The OS is -current as of 2 days ago.

The system seems to hang and I dont see anything on the console or
/var/log/messages. The hangs have happens without using my 
video capture , Matrox Meteor.

-----

Now with my Matrox Meteor , with or without my Adaptec 2940UW, vic
seems to freeze the file system or the scsi bus . Again , I can
ping my system however my X server is frozen and I can't switch 
to another virtual console.

A simple program which I wrote called "tv" seems not to cause the
system to hang. tv just captures images and puts them up on a window.
So at least I know that the Meteor works somewhat.

Is anyone out there experiencing weird problems with the new Natoma 82440FX
chipset with or without a Matrox Meteor?

Any clues as to what is the PCI bus thruput for this chipset/motherboard?

I tried swapping out my memory with the old old memory of my  P100 however
my system still hangs so I doubt that is a memory problem.

	Tnks,
	Amancio
P.S:. here is the output of dmesg
