Juri, et al.
I did some searches on google. It seems that it is the combination
of kernel 2.4, glibc2.2.x, and possibly the i686 optimizations. I found
my machine was alive from a network connection. The problem is, I cant
get my keyboard back even with sysrq (syslog does show it changing into
XLATE mode... I thought alt-ctrl-r was raw?). Of course the machine was
alive, but X was dead. xscreensaver and the screen save it ran along
with most of the desktop stuff was still running.
Anyway, I tried 'shutdown -r now'over the network. Didn't work. I had
to do a hard reset. So it seems the kernel may be slightly left in an
unknown or confused state.
I did not compile it myself. Using RedHat 7.1 standard.
Since I saw this mentioned here recently, does gcc still think 686=cmov?
If so, Alan or someone else, does Athlon classic (slot 800 Mhz) support
cmov?
