Hi, I have a laptop with an Intel Pentium M 760 (Dothan family) processor, but even though the Intel CPU comparison chart on their website says that my CPU supports the NX bit, I get the following message in dmesg: dmesg | grep -i nx Using x86 segment limits to approximate NX protection This message was mentioned in an earlier thread as meaning that NX bit emulation is turned on since the CPU lacks NX bit support. By the way, 'nx' is also listed as a flag when I do cat /proc/cpuinfo Any ideas? My system is FC4 with the latest kernel (2.6.16-1.2069_FC4). Regards Ingemar
