Subject: Re: [SLE] Linux Versions Can't Handle Pentium 4
It was just announced on the suse-announce-e list that SuSE has fixed this:
========================== fwd ========================
Dear Linux-User
if you want to use Linux for your brandnew, super-speed Pentium
4 CPU, just go ahead! SuSE has integrated backward-compatible Pentium
4 recognition in the standard Linux kernel 2.2.16 included in
SuSE Linux 7.0.
A boot disk image of the kernel can be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/kernel/pentium4/
Have a lot of fun!
Your SuSE Team
======================= end fwd ====================================
Quoting Fred A. Miller :
Linux Versions Can't Handle Pentium 4
------------------------------------------------------------
Mary Jo Foley, CNET News.com
Chalk up to the list of Pentium 4 pitfalls the fact that not all
versions of the Linux operating system support the new Intel
processor.
