    Subject2.4.19-pre2 Cyrix III SEGFAULT (Cyrix II redux?)
    In compiling the kernel, I've been experiencing the
    same gcc-2.96 (and gcc-3.0+) SEGFAULT again on Cyrix
    III GigaPro (733Mhz, Samuel II core chipset).

    But I recalled Linux 2.2 having a bug fix for broken
    L2 cache in Cyrix II. So, it got me thinking again...
    (did Cyrix fix this L2 cache in certain subsequential
    core?)

    Does anyone recall where exactly are the Cyrix II L2
    cache bug fix in the kernelso that I can experiement
    them toward the Cyrix III?

    Assuming no else sees VM bugs, I'll assume that this
    is Cyrix-specific. I've seen various VM BUGs for each
    patch releases since 2.4.17 particularly when
    compiling.

    MOBO DETAILS:
    Soyo 7VEM motherboard (686A PL133, despite having an
    ALL VIA-chipsets (Cyrix III-733Mhz, VIA-VT82C596A
    multifunctional audio/AGPvideo/modem, Rhine Ethernet,
    Trident APG), no drivers are loaded into the kernel
    except for EXT2, Trident Video (no framebuffer
    support) and IDE (via82cxxx.c). BARE KERNEL. (BTW,
    it was a $250 Fry's special running a barebone
    multimedia Linux, so no snickering please.).
