…this may explain Mandrake’s flaky reputation on Athlons. Unlike most distros, they build everything optimized for the Pentium — including the kernel.

So far, I’ve noticed that when the map switches in multiplayer UT, I get a crash to the desktop. I once got a complete system freeze when starting UT.

Looks like I’ll have to give the workaround a try.

You have recompiled your kernel to be optimized for an Athlon? Becuase I have never had any problems on my 1.2Ghz with a Geforce3 – but I have recompiled most everything on my machine including my kernel, so I wonder if that has something to do with it.

Anyone got an answer?

I might have missed something somewhere,but ive looked around the Internet and I haven’t found a direct answer to;
1]This bug,is it because of a problem with the Athlon that the 2.4.x Kernel has stumbled upon or is it a bug in 2.4.x kernel?
and 2]Does it effect AGP in general or its it specific to NVAGP or AGPGart?

Sorry for my nievite – But I like direct answers! Thanx to anyone who anwsers!

To Alan Cox and Andrea Arcangeli, this bug is not what we think.

” That problem shouldnt be hitting Linux x86. I don’t know about the Nvidia module but the base kernel shouldnt hit an invlpg on 4Mb pages”
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0201.2/1352.html

and:
“furthmore it cannot even trigger if you invlpg with an address page aligned (4mbyte aligned in this case) like we would always do in linux anyways, we never use invlpg on misaligned addresses, no matter if the page is a 4M or a 4k page. And I guess with PAE enabled it cannot
even trigger in first place (it speaks only about 4M pages, pae only provides 2M pages instead).

I think this is a very very minor issue, I doubt anybody ever triggered it in real life with linux.”
