Subject: VIA acknowledges North Bridge bug (AKA Linux Kernel with Athlon optimizations bug)
Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2001 20:21:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <005b01c17dc2$1c244130$0300000a@samurai> (raw)
Remember the pci_fixup_via_athlon_bug() (AKA "Athlon bug stomper")
function which went into kernel 2.4.14 after much discussion?
Apparently the mysterious register 55 in the Northbridge controls a
buggy Memory Write Queue timer. They finally acknowledged the problem
when Nvidia drivers and Windows XP started pushing the hardware enough
to trigger the bug...
