First of all, sorry for a very vague bug report, this is hard to trace down and I'm short on time. Compiling a Linux kernel with athlon optimisations with current gcc 3.4.4 snapshots results in a kernel that Oopses on bootup on most (though not all) Athlon machines. Optimising for i686 instead of athlon "fixes" the problem; so does reverting to an older gcc (including older 3.4.4 snapshots). Last known good version: 3.4.4-20050127 First known bad version: 3.4.4-20050227
