Are all of the people having problems with AMD hardware using the
onboard IDE? I have a KT7-RAID with Althon 1.3 and 1.5GB ram that
is very stable. My drive is connected to the HPT370 not the internal
IDE. The internal channels were used by my CDRW / DVD. I have never
had this uvm_fault issue.
I've now switched my main system to a Soyo KT333 Dragon Ultra with an
Althon XP 1800+ (only 256MB at the moment) that I haven't seen this problem
with either.
Perhaps it is an issue of using cheap memory & the onboard IDE or something
like that. My 1.5GB was straight from Crucial.
