From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Description of problem: Kernel 2163 is definately unhappy with my Opteron hardware. :) using it results in two serious issues, both of which go away when I use 2135 instead: 1 - vim seems unable to write to disk (Receives SIGILL's). 2 - sabdb 7.4 generates kernel oopses while running. I'll attach examples of both below, as well as a dmesg. Kernel 2135 completely eliminates both issues. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2163.nptl How reproducible: Always

Correction. Kernel 2135 does *not* address the sapdb issue, but DOES correct the vim issue.
Adding Justin, since he's beeen working with me in the fedora-test-list on this issue.
As a workaround, starting sapdb with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 corrects the Kernel messages. So whatever the problem is seems to live in NPTL - Kernel interaction.
This is not a kernel/NPTL interraction issue, this is an issue with SAPDB, once they build with NPTL this should be resolved.
