I just wrote about this two days ago: deselect "Enable PII/PIII Extended
Fast FPU save and restore support" under "Processor type and features"

Well it took me a while to figure this out. It still listed as an open
bug on Mandrake bug page (Bug #402 for package: kernel sources). I
searched the archives of this mailing list and the newbie list and found
nothing. Nobody knew about it when I e-mailed and asked. I found the
answer searching alt.os.linux.mandrake
where is this 30mdk kernel? If it is Cooker then are you saying that (in
general I should have no problems with a Cooker kernel)?
btw, if I replace the config file in the kernel.src.rpm package and
compile it with rpm -bb kernel.spec should I have any problems?
