Hi, > /* > + * PAE CPUID bug: Pentium M reports no PAE but has PAE > + */
Ain't that a tad strongly/incorrectly worded? It's probably not certain whether that's a "bug". Prior content in this discussion suggested that the flag might have been intentionally not advertised, due to not being of sufficient quality yet in these revisions. Also, it's not definite that it has "PAE" in a usable form. So what about rewording it into an "issue", e.g. something like: "PAE CPUID issue: most Pentium M report no PAE but may have PAE implemented at a potentially usable quality level. Thank you very much for this important deescalation work of the quite annoying PAE compat issue! (Pentium M, AMD Geode, VIA C7, <(=?) Pentium II, ...) (BTW, would it be possible to transform Linux's PAE support into boot-config or even fully runtime-detectable boot switching to (non-)PAE, similar to or exceeding what XP offers with its static boot-time flag? Last time I checked PAE support config defines were spread over ~ 40 kernel source files though :-((() Andreas Mohr -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
