It's actually the kernel that detected it and not Gentoo, but that's semantics. IIRC from the last Pentium box I had (it's been a while), you'll see a line in the kernel messages (dmesg) that says it's enabling a workaround. -- Andrew Gaffney http://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/ Gentoo Linux Developer Installer Project -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
