Subject: altivec instructions
Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 10:52:59 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200001241852.KAA04045@sade.ddi.com> (raw)


We are trying to run a program that contains altivec instructions on a G4,
but the process keeps crashing (gdb will actually cause a kernal panic).
It looks like a bit in the MSR needs to be set.  What would be the best
way to modify the kernel to let this happen?
