Hi All, I need help. I have a box with SuSE 8.1 with this kernel (uname -a): 2.4.19-4GB #1 Mon August 4 (i686) unknow This kernel is k_deft (and i need it´s). It´s run Ok on Duron, Athlon and Pentium II > processors but in K6-II no. I found this because while the inittab is run; any errors occurs with respawn too fast messages in inittab entry´s. I search in web and found various articles but none solve my problem. In SuSE sdb Site i found this article http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/1999/07/amd.html , but my processor not in this range. I recompiled the kernel with unsynced TSC option marked but no solve my problem.... And now.... in SuSE FTP exists a kernel for my problem. In SuSE kernel source documentation, this problem it´s libc related, but i swap original libc to http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/suse/updates/8.1/i386/rpm/i686/glibc-2.2.5-184.... but no solve. The lines below show my based doc: "Unsynced TSC support CONFIG_X86_TSC_DISABLE This option is used for getting Linux to run on a NUMA multi-node boxes, laptops and other systems suffering from unsynced TSCs or TSC drift, which can cause gettimeofday to return non-monotonic values. Choosing this option will disable the CONFIG_X86_TSC optimization, and allows you to then specify "notsc" as a boot option regardless of which processor you have compiled for. NOTE: If your system hangs when init should run, you are probably using a i686 compiled glibc which reads the TSC wihout checking for avaliability. Boot without "notsc" and install a i386 compiled glibc to solve the problem." thanks in advance. []´s anckerDJ
