I should have added that my ugly fp-saving band-aid patch was just intended for temporary use (small enough to take in this late stage of 2.6.11-rcN development). Treating MCA as just another interrupt sounds to be *much* cleaner. I look forward to seeing the patch. -Tony - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
