From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; T312461) Description of problem: ./include/linux/delay.h of the kernel source causes FC2 under i386/amd athlon/others? to crash (in the compiled/running kernel) after changing the .config HZ value (make menuconfig) to a power of 2 (e.g. 4096). changing line 31 (in mdelay) from: unsigned long __ms=(n); to: unsigned long __ms=((n*5)>>2); should fix the problem. Note: this problem came up during kernel development and requires several other source code changes to reproduce. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.10-1.771_FC2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. see Note in description 2. try higher power of 2 .config HZ values 3. easier to discover with GL apps (e.g. NVIDIA/quake arena) Additional info:
I imagine the legacy folks reaction to this will likely be "don't do that then", or "if you change something, you get to fix the fallout", but reassigning anyway..
Yeah.. :-( We definitely don't have resources to fix this bug as it doesn't appear in default installs and isn't security-related, so closing as WONTFIX.
