Ok - I had a bad day today struggling with hardware. Having said that
I'm somewhat frustrated with the lack of progress of Linux getting it
right with Asus, nVidia, and AMD processors right.
I still have to run pci=nommconf to keep the server from locking
up. That's with both 939 pin and AM2 motherboards.
This bug remains unresolved:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6975
So what's up with the no progress?
The bug report only references ancient kernels (2.6.15, 2.6.17) How do you know there is no
progress?
2.6.18 is the latest released kernel, I don't think calling one release
back "ancient" is really advancing the solution. The problem seems to
have been reported in August, and is still not fixed, I do understand
that he would feel there is no progress.
How long will you wait before putting in the fix Marc Perkel suggested,
perhaps with a warning logged that it's a band-aid? Many users will not
be astute enough to find this discussion, the bug report, the fix,
configure and build a kernel, etc. And not all distributions will
address it either.

Obscure bug of 2004: BASH BUFFER OVERFLOW - if bash is being run by a
normal user and is setuid root, with the "vi" line edit mode selected,
and the character set is "big5," an off-by-one errors occurs during
wildcard (glob) expansion.
