Are you absolutely sure it's this 3-byte NOP that oopses?

I also noticed that jamal's /proc/cpuinfo contains
cpu MHz : 1063.771
which is either wrong or indicates serious overclocking.
The PIIs maxed out at about 400/450MHz.


Good spotting, and yes, the roof for Pentium II was 450 MHz. Pentium II had a TSC, so it shouldn't be wrong unless there wasn't a bigger timekeeping error on this platform.

Jamal, can you clarify?
