Symptoms
In the process of undergoing rigorous quality control testing in one of our partner's labs, AMD has
become aware of an observation that occurred during testing. On rare occasion, while running a
highly specialized, custom network exercise tool and only after many hours under extreme conditions
in a synthetic environment, a segmentation fault, kernel panic or network transfer error was observed.
This issue has not been observed in prior testing by this partner and there are no reports of this
occurring in the field. To AMD's knowledge, this has only been seen in this rare, corner case synthetic
test environment running Linux and has not been reproduced on any Microsoft
