That's a little misleading. Always dangerous getting your information from slashdot. Let's say Intel clarified some corner cases in TLB flushing that have changed with Core2 and not everybody got that right. I wouldn't say it was a Intel bug though. > for the "fix" download. Is this the same TLB issue? And are these really I think so. > fixes for Windows to flush the TLB properly the way Linux does? On newer Linux 2.6 yes. On 2.4/x86-64 you would need in theory the microcode update too. (it'll probably show up at some point at the usual place http://urbanmyth.org/microcode/). Linux/i386 is always fine. But the problem is very obscure and you can likely ignore it too. If your machine crashes it's very likely something else. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
