Kernel Panic With Barton XP2500 fine running at 133mhz 2200

Hi

My machine has developed a bit of a problem. I've been running a Barton core Athlon XP2500 at 166FSB and 11x on a Asus A7N8X-Deluxe for 18 months now, no problem. I know old outdated spec now :-(

but recently i added a soundblaster live24 card and recompiled the kernel as it wasn't upto date. Shortly afterwards i started getting a kernel panic at boot time. However if i drop the fsb to 133 and run it as a XP2200 all is well and no panics. the current kernel 2.6.14-gentoo-r4.

I guess it's a hardware problem? I've checked the Vcore voltage which is correct at 1.65 by Auto.

Thanks

Don't see why there should be any problems as those are the rated FSB & multiplier... Does this behave correctly if you remove the SB card again, and/or boot your old kernel with the card still in?

thanks for the response. i've tried an old known good kernel and no luck. so i'll take the sb out and see what happens. i do remember it being troublesome to even get the sb modules to load that i'd compiled when i did the 2.6.14 kernel build. it seemed to have trouble detecting the sb card. after reseating it a few times it seemed to be ok. i'll come back when i've removed it.

thanks
