Earlier I reported that the f00f workaround was not enabled on my computer. I was partly in error. A few minutes ago, after unmounting my disks, I did this:
[root@Sleepy /root]# ./f00f Illegal Instruction [root@Sleepy /root]# ./f00f
[machine hangs]
I think there is a real problem with the f00f workaround in recent kernels.
It's a dual pentium 133 system, Intel 430HX chipset, stock kernel 2.1.119, stable hardware. Could someone please look into this? I'm a kernel tester, not a kernel hacker, but I'd be happy to try and help someone track this down.
