Phillip,
Can you explain better what you meant in your last paragraph?

I get a *solid* lock e-v-e-r-y single time I try the locking code on my 6x86L PR200. Since computers are supposed to be deterministic, can you tell me how the same code on your machine will have the random results you describe above?
Oh, BTW, there is no such thing as a PR200L+ Step 2 Rev 7. All dual-voltage 6x86Ls are Step 4 rev 2, all Step 2 Rev 7 chips are the classic single voltage 6x86 (no L suffix).
Either the kernel code is incorrect or you incorrectly reported your 6x86 chip type.
Cheers,
