A floating point trap could be one of several things, including 1) a device driver that specifies floating point numbers (the kernel is not allowed to use floating point). 2) a compiler mis-configured to use floating point registers for structure copy 3) A device or driver is scribling on memory 4) Your memory bus or controller is not configured correctly or your board is getting noise, corrupting memory. 1 and 2 can be eliminated by checking the instruction at NIP in your vmlinux, possibly by objdump. 3 would tend to be unlikely at the low address but not impossible. milton ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
