I had a SINGLE report of different CPU's doing different things, but *most* people aren't swapping different chips into the same motherboard very often, so all the people without the problem might have the problem when they put in a different CPU, and those with the problem might have it go away if they put in a different CPU. I can only assume that this BIOS bug is only triggered under certain conditions of the CPU. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
