Matthew is not alone with this problem. I have it too. Its not new here. Its been happening as long as I have had gentoo amd64 installed. It can be hard to reproduce but eventually, when 32 bit apps are used, my box bricks. There is nothing in the logs (nor on a serial console) - the box just freezes. My kernel is _not_ tainted. The kernel is currently 2.6.23-gentoo-r5-crc with the latest cfs backport applied; it does not seem to be critical though as it has happen with all kernels I have tried (mm, linux and gentoo varients). The processor is: processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 2800+ stepping : 10 cpu MHz : 1808.802 cache size : 512 KB fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext lm 3dnowext 3dnow rep_good bogomips : 3620.77 TLB size : 1024 4K pages clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: ts fid vid ttp I asked about this lkml before and was told it was probably a cpu/hardware issue... Its interesting that Matthew is also running gentoo.
