This should be included for ALL kernels that won't run # on a Pentium. </blockquote> Either the statement in LINT is not correct, or your statement is not correct. Tertium non datur :-) Seriously: if NO_F00F_HACK is only used in conjunction with pentiums (I586_CPU), then LINT should be modified accordingly.
