Heh, i still recall my early encounters with Linux and reading the bootup messages.

One of them contained a line related to having found a CPU bug and having put a workaround in place.

I am not entirely sure, but i think it may have been the F00F bug.

Ha. Reminded me of the Pentium Floating Point Bug from the 90s. First (only?) time a CPU bug has been an international press story?
