I had a lot of red alarm problems on an Athlon 900 with VIA686 pci
controller, and on a Tyan Tiger with dual Athlon MP 1400Mhz with an
AMD pci controller. Lots of people stated that the VIA pci controller
wasn't good... I didn't see complaints about AMD controllers, but I
moved to an intel machine (with intel pci controller) and never got
the problem again. It's up without module reloading or machine reboot
for 8 days, and not a single red alarm.
