Athlon oops saga continues - I consistently get Athlon kernels oopsing during the boot up process either in rc.sysinit or loading of usb modules (this is a RedHat system 7.1). These kernels can boot to a shell init=/bin/sh but once I try to do stuff like inserting modules they oops left, right, and centre. System: Athlon 1.2GHz VIA KT 133A Kernel: 2.4.5 and -ac, 2.4.6 and -ac Compiler: gcc 2.96-RH/3.00/3.01 binutils 2.10.90/2.11.2/2.11.90 I have narrowed a(the?) problem down to the CONFIG_MK7 specific code in arch/i386/lib/mmx.c. If I disable CONFIG_MK7 in that one file with the rest of the kernel untouched and compiled with CONFIG_MK7 and -march=athlon then my kernel boots sucessfully and manages to get into multi-user mode. With a few minutes of testing and X everything works fine. I'm interested if there is an explanation of the MK7 specific code in mmx.c and whether that could really be the source of the problem. I would like to get to the bottom of this. FWIW - the RedHat 7.1 stock 2.4.2 athlon kernel boots successfully without oopsen. Thanks!
