Hello Paolo, Can you please revert the patch. CPU is a Core 2 Extreme QX6700: SL9UL (B3) running VERY stable with ECC RAM for years now. https://ark.intel.com/products/28028/Intel-Core2-Extreme-Processor-QX6700-8M-Cache-2_66-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB?q=Core%202%20Extreme%20QX6700 <https://ark.intel.com/products/28028/Intel-Core2-Extreme-Processor-QX6700-8M-Cache-2_66-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB?q=Core%202%20Extreme%20QX6700> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_2_microprocessors <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_2_microprocessors> CPU details below. Thank you. Ciao, Gerhard Hello Paolo, Any update on this major issue?We will revert the patch, but 4.13.0 will not have the fix. Expect it in later stable kernels (because vacations).
Thnx. Why will 4.13.0 NOT have the fix? Thnx. Ciao, Gerhard
