| |
In compiling the kernel, I've been experiencing the same gcc-2.96 (and gcc-3.0+) SEGFAULT again on Cyrix III GigaPro (733Mhz, Samuel II core chipset).
But I recalled Linux 2.2 having a bug fix for broken L2 cache in Cyrix II. So, it got me thinking again... (did Cyrix fix this L2 cache in certain subsequential core?)
Does anyone recall where exactly are the Cyrix II L2 cache bug fix in the kernelso that I can experiement them toward the Cyrix III?
Assuming no else sees VM bugs, I'll assume that this is Cyrix-specific. I've seen various VM BUGs for each patch releases since 2.4.17 particularly when compiling.
MOBO DETAILS: Soyo 7VEM motherboard (686A PL133, despite having an ALL VIA-chipsets (Cyrix III-733Mhz, VIA-VT82C596A multifunctional audio/AGPvideo/modem, Rhine Ethernet, Trident APG), no drivers are loaded into the kernel except for EXT2, Trident Video (no framebuffer support) and IDE (via82cxxx.c). BARE KERNEL. (BTW, it was a $250 Fry's special running a barebone multimedia Linux, so no snickering please.).
Passed memtest86.
