Apparently there have been problems with other VIA CPU's. Has anyone 
found a fix. The 'boot' loader
loads and prints out a message about memory and such, but after that nix.

I've looked at what the bios prints out as 'northbridge/southbridge', 
and the PCI ids are all to be found
in the pci listing in the kernel sources, etc. so it seems to be 
something else.

Thanks
