Has anynone seen this? There seems to be a bug on the Cyrix, similar but not identical to the Pentium's. However the workaround on the Cyrix is apparently much simpler (you only need to disable LOCK mode in the CCR, if I understood the fix right). -----Forwarded message from troy@dakota.net (Troy)----- From: "Troy" <troy@dakota.net> Date: Fri, 14 Nov 1997 01:09:32 -0600 Message-Id: <01bcf0cc$4177dbe0$0201a8c0@odin.mountaintop.org> To: best-of-security@cyber.com.au Luckily, there is a fix for the Cyrix lockup bug: http://www.tux.org/~balsa/linux/cyrix/p11.html ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------ Date: Thu, 13 Nov 1997 20:34:32 -0500 (EST) To: web-consultants@just4u.com From: Rainmaker <mosaic1@ix.netcom.com> Reply-to: web-consultants@just4u.com Subject: WC:>: More chip problems BUGS GALORE: INTEL, CYRIX FIGHT GLITCHES IN THEIR CHIPS http://www.news.com/News/Item/0%2C4%2C16312%2C00.html?nd (Intel) http://www.news.com/News/Item/0%2C4%2C16347%2C00.html?nd (Cyrix) This week, the chip world seems to have more bugs than Starship Troopers.
