Re: Problems with Duron Procesor
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 if i get it straight there is/was an issue with durons/athlons running on via kt chipsets and k7 optimized kernels: the optimization uses some 3dnow+ code for faster memory access which leads to - well - unwanted effets. I read this somewhere in german c't, can't find it now. maybe try a k6 or pII/III optimezed kernel yours Sönke Am Sonntag, 16. Dezember 2001 00:37 schrieb [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello!

Try this - hash out (or remove) the statements CONFIG_X86_USE_3DNOW from PATH_TO_KERNEL_SRC/arch/i386/config.in then run make oldconfig and rebuild the kernel as usual.

Re: Problems with Duron Procesor
Let me confirm to you that AMD Durons from 700-1.1G work perfectly with Kernel 2.2.19 and 2.4.16. We have over 10 such boxes running 2.4.16 and they are all rock solid. Faster than the PIII and P4 boxes. So whatever is going down, it is your motherboard, heatsink, something. Just a reminder... Durons run EXTREMELY hot compared to PIII... we've fried a few AMD CPUs due to the CPU fan either going too slow or stopping. So use only high quality ball-bearing fans on them. As for motherboards, we use only top quality ones from either ASUS or Magic-Pro. Avoid using cheapo ones. Try testing the RAM using memtest or something. that might help you. Anyway, thats my 2 cents. Hope that helps you isolate the problem.

Using a plain Pentium kernel we got no memory faults anymore. Is this a Motherboard/Memory problem, or is there any known problem with the AMD-Duron optimization? For me it works fine with the woody gcc and kernel 2.4.9-2.4.16, with proctype Duron. I think you've flaky memory or a broken mainboard, running memtest86 (apt-get install hwtools, dd if=/usr/lib/hwtools/memtest86.bin of=/dev/fd0 IIRC) might help. HTH, Alson
