To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org In-Reply-To: <20011206031210.A11885@qfire.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Jaswinder: Ok, but per default Red Hat 7.2 comes optimized for i386 and anyway it?s freezing. The second test I made was just to discard a possible problem related to the CPU optimization, which unfortunately did not worked. Understood the other problems, thanks. Jorge Carminati.
