Subject: FPU emulation problems in 2.4
Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2001 17:23:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010724172340.A476@willow.seitz.com> (raw)
Hello everyone,
In my quest to get 2.4 and netfilter running on my machines
I have been having tons of problems on some [34]86sx machines that
we use. On all of them the kernel freezes hard right after saying
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 196k freed
No keyboard, no SysRq, need a hard reset. I also tried this on an
AMD K6-2. With hardware FPU it works fine, but loading with no387
gives an error:
FPU Emulator: Unknown prefix byte 0x00, probably due to
FPU Emulator: self-modifying code! (emulation impossible)
FPU Emulator: Internet error type 0x0126

CW: ic=0 rc=00 pc=11 iem=0 ef=111111
Searching the archives showed a bug report against 2.1.5 that said
basically the same thing. Unfortunately there were no more messages
in the thread.
