I will, but just right now I don't have much time to spend on it, but my next goal is to identify a way to reproduce it (not an easy task I'm afraid). So, I will keep people informed. > I'd be happy to switch a few (fast) CPUs from SETI@Home to Transmeta@Home if not illegal :-) Well, we should first find where is the bug. ;-) But, we already have the assembly code of the CMS 4.4 thanks to the HP tablet-PC update (see: http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/compaqtabletpc/us/download/18120.html). So, if some people are interested by this project of CrackingTransmeta@Home, be my guest. :-) Regards -- Emmanuel Fleury Computer Science Department, | Office: B1-201 Aalborg University, | Phone: +45 96 35 72 23 Fredriks Bajersvej 7E, | Fax: +45 98 15 98 89 9220 Aalborg East, Denmark | Email: fleury@cs.aau.dk - 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/
