1 Here are the issues I'm currently having.
2
3 1. Grub2 menu DOES NOT ACCEPT KEYBOARD INPUT!
4
5 -- Upgraded my ram to 64gb, couldn't run memtest because grub2 is broken.
6
7
8 2. My current combination of Linux-Headers-5.2, kernel 5.2 and nvidia
9 drivers is UNSTABLE and crashes X11 to command line when the steam
10 client updates itself, breaking my long running number theory code, lost
11 about 2 days of work so far. Actually, when this happens the command
12 line is garbled and I have to issue "reset" to gain control again.

20 When either of those numbers rolls over, the program will leave the
21 inner loop and the outer loop will increment, the problem essentially
22 grows exponentially and will run very fast for small i, but when it gets
23 up to 49.... well it takes many months...) A threadripper might be able
24 to handle the i=50 block, I don't expect to find a number until the i=51
25 block... The last number I found is:
26 24014998963383302600955162866787153652444049
27
28 The weird thing is that all the numbers this code has found were done
29 with a Phenom II, 1090T. My Ryzen 1800x hasn't found a single new number
30 despite being 3x faster.
