| |
Hi there.
I'm not sure what's actually happenning here, but here's the description...
1. Boot up my AMD K6-2/350 (stepping 0) system. 64M of RAM, 6.4G and 2.1G hard drives on hda and hdc respectively, 24xCDROM on hdd. System boots fine.
2. Anything I run before running rc5des runs fine, and I can't cause any problems whatsoever.
3. If I run rc5des (see www.distributed.net for details, and I'm using the latest version), it will run fine, and keeps going for as long as I care to let it.
4. Once I've run rc5des, I can't log in on any of the consoles or across my private network, I can't run any programs at all, nor can I get any response from any SysRq magic keys.
5. If I stop rc5des with ^C it stops fine, but I still can't run anything else, nor can I restart rc5des after doing so.
My tests have indicated that whatever this problem is, it is VERY SPECIFIC - rc5des does NOT cause this problem on any of the Intel chips I've tried it on, nor on a friend's K6/166, nor on another K6-2/350 I have access to that happens to be stepping 2.
I am therefore asking whether there are any known problems specific to the K6-2/350 stepping 0 and (possibly) stepping 1 that this might be tickling?
Best wishes from Riley.
