Floating point broken between 2.4.0-ac4 and -ac5?
A Duron box running 2.4.0-ac5 (and -ac6) shows NaN in many places (such as df output showing usage "nan%"). Right now I reverted back to 2.4.0-ac4 which does not show the problem. The kernel was compiled with CONFIG_MK7 and without MATH_EMULATION, if that makes any difference.

If you boot with the nofxsr option does that fix the problem ?

Yes, it seems to fix it. I guess this is the same problem as Udo A Steinberg has reported earlier in ``XFree 4.0.2 and "w"'' thread Message-ID: <[email protected]>. -

I just had exactly the same problem with ac6 and an Athlon. Many floating point numbers were replaced with nan. XFree86 broke.
