I am having a problem booting *any* modern version of Linux on y Compaq
Presario CDS 520. It keeps having a kernel panic after trying to read a
compressed ramdisk (for floppy-based boots, which is all I can try, the
system was made before el-torito became standard).
All kernel panics produce similar output, the most recent from 2.0.31 is:
divide error: 0000
CPU: 0
EIP: 0010:[<0017f803>]
EFLAGS: 00000246
eax: 00000035 ebx: 00000010 ecx: 00000008 edx: 00000e52
... and some other stuff, the system's APM went active and it locked up,
but it also did say "panic: tried to kill init!".
I have tried many kernel version from 2.0.0 up to the latest release.
All of them exibit the same behaviour and divine error. The system has
no FPU, and 'no387' is used as a kernel option. All custom kernels have
math emulation ENABLED.
As a side note, Linux 0.99.15 boots just fine using loadlin.
