AMD Bug in Linux

Published: | Posted By:

It would seem that an old bug in the Athlon processor is still causing problems with Linux 2.4 kernel. The Linux/AMD bug is in relation to a compatibility issue with Intel's 4MB page size. (x86 processors have used 4k pages, ever since paging was introduced in the 80386).
