Hi Seth,
I just thought of something. What flags are you passing for optimization?
I know that compiling with i586 is sometimes faster but I believe not
everything works OK. Can you check this by compiling for i486?
The K6 cores were also faster with 486 optimizations for me then with
i586.
I have compiled the kernel now with i486 optimization instead of K6 and -
believe it or not - it looks fine now. If have just run some rsyncs
without any problem. I will do some more tests over the weekend and I hope
they will also work.
Okidoki. It's because I worked with a few K6 chips in the past that I know
how they behave. They are not bad just peculiar.
But that can be said from some Dell Intel hardware as well ;)
Cheers
