I am doing regression testing on old hardware. systemd-233 just generated the following error on startup:
traps:systemd[1] trap invalid opcode ip:b7d97361 sp:bfa2f6bc error:0 in libsystemd-shared-233.so[b7d3e000+1cc000] systemd[1]: Caught <ILL>, dumped core as pid 78. systemd[1]: Freezing execution I believe it is getting an illegal instruction trap on this first generation 486 because it is calling "cpuid" in detect_vm_cpuid() without first checking if the hardware supports it; it doesn't in this case. The gcc compiler provides a workaround in the cpuid.h header file. You can call __get_cpuid_max() first and check the return value > 0. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14266772/how-do-i-call-cpuid-in-linux#14266932 The Linux kernel still supports the 486 so we have to code around this case, even if it is ancient hardware. - Matthew _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
