Hi, if the error message is something like /linuxrc: line xx: 17 Illegal instruction cp -ax / newroot
then we saw this on some of the older Amdahl Millennium processors that didn't have IEEE Hardware. We believe the stock SuSe SLES8 kernel has the linux software support for IEEE disabled. There is a compiler directive CONFIG_MATHEMU that seems to enable this. Obviously this requires a recompilation of the kernel. Not sure if this will invalidate any support agreement you may have. ......Ian > -----Original Message----- > From: Carlos A Bodra [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2005 6:50 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Suse 8 > > Hi, > > Can anyone tell me if it's possible to run SUSE Enterpreise Server 8 under > a > not G5/G6 > machine.
