Andrzej, implemented the patch, works ok even if I removed the notsc parameter from the kernel parameter line. I did some tests with the systems, compiled quite some code - works great. I didn't make any performance tests to compare the solutins - but it looks ok preformace wise. (This is a 64bit

Andrzej, setting "notsc" makes the difference (yesterday I forgot to start lilo after modifying /etc/lilo.conf to include notsc"). Now it work even with -kernel-kqemu. Not fully tested though, but much better than before. Thanks, Werner andrzej zaborowski wrote: > Hi, > > On 17/04/07, Werner D
