current pentium4 have this problem as well. Shouldn't need to use the emt64 (x86_64) mode. It takes i/o bridges and MCH to support it, but the latest Intel ones do. However, I am pretty sure BIOSes wouldn't assign the pci/pci-e addresses > 4GIG so most are not impacted. --- Kumar Gala <[EMAIL PRO

Andrew Morton sorry I missed your reply: To recap, I said: FYI, I had to get CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL set to solve my 2.6.19-rc1 boot panic. Actually, I couldn't get CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL=y to stick so I modified kernel/sysctl.c's ifdefs. You said: What boot panic was that? It depends
