Normandin Jr." To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain Message-Id: <1082655922.7650.4.camel@screamer.nfn.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.4.5 Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2004 17:45:22 +0000 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Well, it seems as if I just might have found a temporary fix for the Nforce APIC Borkage. Using a uniprocessor configured kernel, I would get lockups running hdparm -t /dev/hda. However, reconfiguring the kernel for SMP seems to have fixed this. Please send all input on this either to my email, or the bug I posted on bugme.osdl.org at : http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2552 One person who replied to that bug states this works. (I ask this because I do not have the bandwidth or storage to spare signing up on this list.) Thanks, Gerald J. Normandin Jr.
