'It runs if I don't use Athlon optimisations' This one is compiler independant. It seems to be unrelated to obvious candidates like vesafb. It isnt related to CPU version. Every victim has a VIA chipset machine. 2. 'My athlon box is fine until I am swapping' {and using DMA} Compiler independant, CPU version independant. All victims have a VIA chipset. This one may be linked to the reported problems with VIA PCI. Two of the reporters found disabling IDE DMA fixed this one Nobody using an AMD chipset has reported either problem. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
