o Remove cyrix COMA thing. Use set6x86
Well, then will you please remove the f00f bugfix as well and develop a user space tool to switch it on? (The sarcastic taste was intended. :-)) IMHO the processor bug workarounds should be in the the kernel.
I do not believe that this bugfix caused any of the reported file corruption problems (someone said that this may be the cause) since I myself have a Cyrix 6x86MX and used every 2.2 and 2.3 kernel up to now and I did not experienced any such problems although I heavily use my disks with untargzing and deleting large trees after compilation and such. (Though I experienced crashes with 2.3.x that happened with others with non Cyrix machines.) Or show me a way to reproduce it with the coma bug fix and I will delete it from my kernel tree as well.
And if the bugfix itself causes the file corruption then no matter where you enable the bugfix and which tool you use...
