Re-assigning to kernel Could you try our latest 2.4.2 based kernel available through up2date and in rawhide ? I did a lateral upgrade from my 2.4.2 to the Rawhide 2.4.2, and both appear to work perfectly fine. I also switched back to the i686 glibc from the i386 glibc, and still no problems (so far.) Linus' changelog for 2.4.1 -> 2.4.2 cites a "serious" IDE driver bugfix; he said it was only seen on ARM, but it seems possible that the Duron could also expose the bug through idiosyncracies in its cache behavior, etc. It seems increasingly probable that this was a kernel bug up through 2.4.1 that is fixed in 2.4.2. (I assume the rawhide kernel is still optimized for i686 and not Athlon/Duron/K7 right? So it's probably not that.) This bug can probably be closed, and I will resurrect if it self-destructs again. :) Thanks for testing. Our rawhide 2.4.2 kernel contains some workarounds for chipsetbugs that cause corruption on VIA chipsets. I'm glad either this or the generic 2.4.2 code fixed it. Our i686 kernels are indeed Pentium II optimized, but you can make an Athlon specific kernel yourself by doing rpm --rebuild --target=athlon kernel-2.4.2-0.1.XX.src.rpm (closing this bug as fixed in rawhide) |
