 Major Linux/Athlon CPU bug discovered
Bug Anonymous writes "An old bug in AMD’s Athlon family of chips may still be snaring Linux users.

Affected users will need to be running a 2.4 kernel, an AGP and an Athlon or Duron CPU. At cause is a compatibility issue with Intel’s 4MB page size. (x86 processors have used 4k pages, ever since paging was introduced in the 80386).
This can cause some software (particually games) to crash."
