\_ SMTP quoth Robert Bushman on 8/26/2002 11:09 as having spake thusly:

\_ I had this problem with TNT/AMD/Linux. Something
\_ about all three making incompatible assumptions
\_ about the memory bus. The temporary solution was
\_ to set a CPU flag in lilo.conf - which disabled
\_ some x86 memory performance tweak. Alan Cox talked
\_ about patching the kernel I think, but I don't
\_ know if it has happened yet.

"mem=nopentium" is the appropriate stanza.
