Subject: [9fans] Pentium F00F bug?
Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2000 09:05:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <slrn8u1s11.2hf.vipul@shell2.ba.best.com> (raw)
Hi,
I recently installed plan9 on a Pentium 75 Mhz machine, w/ 64 Mb RAM, Cirrus
Logic CLGD-5430 (pci) video card and Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B ethernet
adapter. I had to explicitly limit memory size with *maxmem statement in
plan9.ini and add a lib/vgadb entry for rio. Otherwise, the installation
proceeded normally.
I have been playing around with this box with much gusto. However, every
once in a while, it freezes and has to be power-cycled. I have noticed this
happens when there is sustained network activity for a few hours, like a
remote ping. I am not sure if there is a co-relation though, as this might
have to do with the F00F bug in the Pentium processor on this machine. At
the moment, I don't have spare hardware to isolate the problem, so I am
hoping someone here can help me debug it.
best regards,
vipul.
