[1.] One line summary of the problem:
hangs on dual athlon system under heavy load.
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
The systems hangs only under heavy load or during shutdown. It still
happens appending
noapic and mem=nopentium, removing the networking card or the ati
graphic card.
Although i can't remove the Adaptec 2100s RAID in order to boot. The
system works
fine compiled with only one CPU support. The temperature seems fine
around 55C.
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
with or without networking and with or without modules.
[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
Linux version 2.4.19 (pau@lorien) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian
prerelease)) #6 SMP
It still happens under SuSE 7.3, 7.2 and 8 kernels. (2.4.16 and 2.4.18)

[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
problem (if possible)
I'm only able fastly hang the machine using something like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $a = 0;
while ($a == 0) {rand();}
It usualy returns a Segmentation Faults and the machine hangs in a few
seconds.
It can become freeze during the perl script too. The script can run
during 10 seconds to 30 minutes.

Hello,
I have a dual athlon system as well which does not
normally reboot under Linux. FreeBSd and Windows work
fine but a stock Linux kernel does very weird things
when rebooting. My board is the Tyan Thunder K7
(S2462UNG) and I solved the problem by booting with
reboot=warm. Hope that helps.

According to my notes, 644 isn't a valid CPU for reliable MP operation.
The earliest Athlon rated 'smp safe' is model 6 stepping 0.
Anyone with anything earlier that isn't having problems is
getting 'lucky'.
