Well, I have seen the 'official' intel fix... it is the one to move the IDT over a page boundry. As has been said before, it is a nasty hairy kludge. Q: Does our fix 'work'.. in the SIGBUS code can we acurately determine if it was really SIGILL and return it? (what I am asking is why Intel picked that evil workaround) Q2: Considering that Intel's 'official' fix can result in a fair performance hit, any word on if they will be doing a recall? -- David Cross ACS Consultant
