Talk:Opteron HOWTO
From Hashmysql
There have been issues with the Opteron and data corruption. I posted a message way back in Oct, 2004. Heikki posted this response:
"I will forward your message to the Linux kernel mailing list. There is little hope of tracking down what exactly is wrong with Opteron platforms. There have been quite many corruption issues with the ordinary 32-bit x86, too. For an unknown reason, x86 corruption became less frequent around the kernel 2.4.20."
