Hi,

maybe someone who knows more about x86 can explain
what is happening when the Kernel does
"Checking 'hlt' instruction" ?

This part just executes a few 'hlt's
which causes a hang on my STPC. So I think
something was not setup correctly
(timer, irq, ...) ?

When I disable this check in the kernel, 
*everything* works perfectly.

I already asked that in the kernel list, but I only
got one answer to check my irq routing. But what
exactly must be on (or off) not to hlt for ever ?

Maybe I need to init some hardware (which linuxbios code
do), I thought I don't need for bootup ?

TIA
Armin
