After reading the 7450 errata book, I'm now trying to figure out what
need to be done for our kernel to work properly on these. I'd appreciate
any input from other people here as some of the errata exact
consequences aren't that clear to me.

Could this be the reason why my Dual 800 is crashing a lot? It is running
2.4.17-pre2, PostgreSQL 7.1, Apache 1.3.20 with 1GB of RAM, 512 MB swap
and hardly gets any work. This machine has crashed hard probably about 5
times in the last 2 weeks and I can't find anything in the logs (not sure
where else to look).

Is anyone running this machine successfully or have the same experiences
as me? Any info would be much appreciated.

Get a more recent kernel. I've worked around a couple of these errata
in both my rsync tree and the bitkeeper ppc kernels.

And please, don't forget to tell me if it works better ;)

Ben.
