That was me. I do have two machines that fail to boot with this change. 1) A Dell Optiplex 740 that reboots early after loading the kernel. Includes 1 "AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+" CPU. 2) A Supermicro H8DG6-F motherboard (only 1 socket populated) later on boot mostly when sshd start (or fc-cache is updated). Includes 1 "AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6128A" CPU Since then i checked on a 3rd machine which has no problem so far. 3) A Sony VAIO VGNBZ12-VN laptop. Includes 1 Ïntel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz" CPU. -- Nicolas Joly Projects and Developments in Bioinformatics Institut Pasteur, Paris.
