Maybe it's certain CFLAGS on GRUB, too? Particularly on x86, with all the |
| 11 |
different varieties of CPU that are x86. I've found a quite a number of |
| 12 |
issues with CFLAGS that affect (at least some) x86 that simply aren't a |
| 13 |
problem on amd64. Of course, in a few years, there will be all sorts of |
| 14 |
extensions for amd64 as well, and it'll be nearly as bad as x86 is today. |
| 15 |
However, it's nice to savor the uncomplicated arch, where everything on |
| 16 |
the arch works the same, while we can. It's already going away, tho, with |
| 17 |
Intel's version, and with the next-gen AMDs coming out soon as well, |
| 18 |
rearchitected for DDR2 and otherwise tweaked. |

Anyway, can't argue with it if it worked, but I've certainly never had an |
| 21 |
issue here with tail and reiserfs. <shrug> |
