Linux-2.4.6-ac5 + via/ES1371

Linux-2.4.6-ac5 + via/ES1371

*        So far so good, but still treat this one with care. We now use the
*        official VIA workaround for the southbridge bugs. That should fix
*        the ES137x/SB PCI problems on VIA and some other stuff without
*        breaking the IDE corruption fix.

I have an abit KT7-a-raid motherboard that uses the VIA KT133A/686B and
HPT370 chipset, this new VIA workaround still doesn't help my Ensoniq 5880
AudioPCI (es1371) produce clear sound, just crackle and pop still, like its
been since the via fixes were introduced around 2.4.3.

I'm using abit's latest bios which added some more options.

from the readme...
"-Delay Transaction
-PCI master read
-PCI master time-out
Sets above options to Disabled/0 and may help SB Live 5.1 sound issue."

Which also didn't help.

Did this new fix resolve anyones via+es1371 problems? I've spent weeks
playing with bios/kernel options and searching for fixes, I would appreciate
any tips on sorting this, or any test patches.

This box currently has just an nvidia geforce2MX and the audioPCI (Creative
soundblaster) on the PCI bus.

1. Can 4.6 RELEASE CDROM install 4.6 STABLE

A fairly naive question.  I have the 4.6 RELEASE CDROM set and just
wondered if there is a way to use its install GUI to install 4.6
STABLE by using the remote ftp source option.  I would just try it and
see what happens but the machines to be updated are in England and I
am in the US so I will have to coach another person in how to do this
over the phone.  I need to build a new system with 4.6 STABLE (for the
libc bug fix) and get it to the point where I can telnet to it.  Any
thoughts on the upgrade path that would be most 'coachable' would be
GREATLY appreciated.

TIA
