It is more general and the explanation given must be different (the specified
CPU instruction set does not prevent it from occuring, but downgrading version
to 1.2.0 does).
No need to reopen the issue, as it seems to have been solved in one of the
pre-releases of version 1.3.1 as well - I confirm it is gone in the latest one:
mxnet-cu90-1.3.1b20181004.
More info
I keep getting this error ("Illegal instruction (core dumped)") in python, or a
nondescript kernel restart (with a core dump) in Jupyter Notebook for a
different CUDA build (mxnet-cu90 running on nvidia/cuda:9.0-cudnn7-devel
image), while I'm not getting it for the originally reported build
(mxnet-cu80). Downgrading library version from 1.3.0.post0 to 1.3.0 or 1.2.1
did not help, but 1.2.0 worked (can be loaded).
There are no NVIDIA drivers installed in my build server's host system (which
indeed prevents some other GPU-enabled libs loading, notably CNTK and
Tensorflow), but CPU does support SSE 4.2 instructions:
