Package: atlas3-base Version: 3.6.0-20.2 Followup-For: Bug #393870 I recently ran into this bug on my own EM64T box, and decided to pick up where the submitter left off: identifying the actual illegal instruction, which turns out to be prefetchw (an AMD 3DNow! extension that Intel processors don't support). AFAICT, the most you can safely assume for -base on amd64 is sse2; if 3DNow! offers appreciable benefits on top of that, you may wish to supply a separate -3dnow package as on i386 (sic!). Likewise, you could plausibly supply a separate -sse3 package usable on P4s and newer Athlon 64s, though that would entail NEW processing.
At any rate, please do limit -base to sse2.
