The system is pure x86_64 (Debian Release: wheezy/sid) with gcc version 4.6.1 20110428 (prerelease) (Debian 4.6.0-6) and GNU C Library (Debian EGLIBC 2.13-4) stable release version 2.13. The only obvious difference I see is the message "using C1E aware idle routine" in dmesg. -- Best regards, Jörg-Volker. -- 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/
