Description of problem:
Hi!

I noticed today by accident that my northbridge is not correctly
recognized (it's good to have option quiet disabled). I looked through
the /var/log/messages* files and find out that the last good kernel
was 2.6.6-1.406. I had this message:

Jun  4 18:15:45 X kernel: Linux version 2.6.6-1.406

8 ports, IRQ sharing enabled

My next kernel was 2.6.6-1.422 and since then this bug has appeared in
all versions (even in 2.6.7-1.441).

I have Soltek SL-75DRV5 motherboard with VIA KT333 north bridge and
AMD Athlon XP CPU. I don't know is that related with that bug, but
Mozilla can even use 50% of my CPU on pages with floating text from
one side to another (I'm using nv driver).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
everything newer than kernel-2.6.6-1.406

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot machine with broken kernel
2.
3.
    

Expected Results:  Chipset should be recognized correctly.

I don't know whether this bug had been noticed, but it seems to be
fixed in kernel 2.6.7-1.471. Thanks!
