Not sure -- i'm often glad I don't have to care about all the old 32bit systems on x86-64. I have no problem with modern 32bit x86 systems, but old x86 tends to be very different from new x86. And all the old erratas are scary. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
