[Qemu-devel] Qemu 0.8.0 and latest CVS - invalid opcode doing ljmp to set CS

[Andrew Wilcox]

Hello,

My kernel crashes in Qemu with this error:

An exception 06 (Invalid Opcode) with error code 0 has occurred in the
AWOS kernel (0008:0000004C).

the disassembly of the relevant section:
00100039 <gdt_flush>:

I can boot the kernel on a normal computer, an IBM Aptiva with a
Pentium 166MHz MMX processor, without this error.

Is there a special way to compile the kernel, or maybe something I
missed?  You may look at the source at:
http://awos.sourceforge.net/nightly

The computer I am attempting to run Qemu on:
Mobile Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor (NetBurst) 1.60GHz
487MB RAM (16MB shared Video RAM)
Ubuntu Dapper Drake 6.06.1 LTS
Linux Lappy 2.6.15-27-386 #1 PREEMPT Sat Sep 16 01:51:59 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
Tested with 0.8.0, 0.8.2-release and snapshot-2006-11-18.  All exhibit
the same problem.

I did try and Google "Qemu invalid opcode ljmp" and "Qemu invalid
instruction ljmp" and "Qemu #UD ljmp" to no avail.

I also saw this message which seems fairly similar to my problem with
no replies:  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2006-03/msg00022.html

Thank you for your attention.

Andrew
