Yep.
Last night I tested this machine with 2.2.14, 2.2.15-pre15,
2.2.15-pre17, 2.3.99-pre[34]*, with compilers gcc 2.95.2 and egcs
1.1.2. Two runs of 'md5sum' on the same ISO image would always yield
two different sums. I even switched the BIOS to its most conservative
settings before getting too far into my testing, and disabled
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL items like the via82cxxx support in 2.2.15pre.
I am going to do some more testing with gcc 2.7.2.* and kernel 2.0.38 /
kernel 2.2.10. If the results are the same, I am going to assume bad
hardware in this case, possibly bad DRAM.
My dual PII box (PIIX4) consistently gives me good md5sums for all
kernels 2.2.x and 2.3.x under gcc 2.95.2...
