longrun not working

longrun not working

[Joshua N Pritikin]

i have a Fujitsu P-Series laptop (TM5800 CPU @ 800MHz) running Linux
2.4.20 (debian) with devfs, CONFIG_MCRUSOE, CONFIG_X86_MSR, and
CONFIG_X86_CPUID.

emit:/usr/src/pseries/longrun# ls -l /dev/cpu/0/
total 0
crw-rw----    1 root     root     203,   0 Dec  8  2002 cpuid
crw-rw----    1 root     root     202,   0 Dec  8  2002 msr

When i try longrun 0.9, i get a failure at the first call to
read_cpuid() in check_cpu(), line 186.

(Actually longrun was working on my laptop about a month ago
then it mysterious started failing, as described.  i don't
know what changed.)

Who is maintaining longrun?  What more information can i provide
to help in debugging?

This problem was due to some problem in the debian unstable
version of libc6.  i am filing a bug report with debian.
