I have a pent mmx 200 that got this problem. I also know a few ppl
with 200's and 166's mmx's that had this problem. Thing is why does 2.1.X
kernels fix it. Other that this *minor* bug the machine works fine and
only sometimes locks up when switching for VC's to svgalib programs or
VC's to X and visa versa.
