To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 14 Nov 1997 16:03:23 -0800 (PST) Reply-To: michael@blueneptune.com X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME8b] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Any word when patches might be available for the Pentium lockup caused by the recently found Pentium invalid instruction erratum? This obviously is of great concern to any ISPs with user shell access to a Pentium system. Details of the erratum are available here: http://support.intel.com/support/processors/pentium/ppiie/index.htm Several OS's already have fixes available (including BSDI and Linux), so I assume (hope) FreeBSD isn't far behind.
