It seems like I need to obtain one of those.  I'll see if VIA can help, but
it might help if you have a known-bad unit that I could get for debugging.

Just to re-confirm: Those kind of problems are you seeing with any kernel, or
only specifically with later (2.6.30-rcX) kernels?  If it's not a regression,
then I think there is no impact of the bug on the 2.6.30 release.

I don't really have your test case.  I've personally been running a CX700 based
mainboard (some EPIA board) as my digital video recording device for > one year
here, without any lock ups at all.  I have not been running any recent kernels
on that system, though.
