So has anyone got anywhere/had issues with FC5/gcc
4.1/x86_64/RT?
nope, but ive never gotten the RT series to work without either freezing/instant-rebooting
right after grub passes off execution to the kernel, or a kernel panic on some ACPI or
similar issue during bootup, or a random unprovoked hard freeze within about 5 to 15
minutse after booting up. this is on several different machines, a Sempron64, a Turion64,
and an Athlon64, on VIA, MSI, and Shuttle platforms. somehow Mark Knecht i think has
claimed stable operation on this architecture, so maybe you want to ask him his magical
combination of hardware / compiler / kernel / patch.
I'm sore tempted to go back to 2.6.14-rtXX, but
don't know what that will
break...
probably nothing. if youve found a version that works, by all means, use it!
with the update to the compiler, the OS, etc.
shouldnt be a problem. youre much more likely to run into issues when removing a version
of GCC or Glibc and not properly updating the .la files and the like..
