Your test program is indeed sufficient to trigger the
freeze. Unfortunately the patch does not make a
difference :(
My test program caused the exception (and the freeze)
unintendedly in the return statement since the
division was optimized away as Brian pointed out.
Some more data points:
SysRq is definitely not working after the freeze :(
Judging from the processor temperature after rebooting
the processor is very busy.
I know of another guy with the exact same CPU (Athlon
Thunderbird 900MHz) and mainboard (ABIT KT7-RAID) who
has the same problem.
I use gcc 2.95.2 to compile the kernel.
I couldn't so far find out where the problem was
introduced since the older 2.4.0-test kernels do not
support the HPT370. I will recable the drive to the
primary controller and try again.
I will also try to compile a non AMD specific kernel
and see if that makes a difference. If just this 40GB
drive would fsck faster :)
Note that cpuinfo shows model 4 whereas e.g. Brian had
model 2 if that means anything.
