Hi, from a quick glance it could be an "over-optimized" kernel utilizing instructions not "implemented" in the CPU silicon. E.g. the Pentium Pro CMOV, NOP, etc.
Can you check that you did not optimize your kernel for 686, Pentium Pro or higher? Instead use just 586, or even 486 depending which instructions really are available on this SiS CPU. Greetings out of Taipei, René On 01.06.2008, at 20:03, Marian Aldenhövel wrote:
Hi, > Make your kernel non SMP enabled. I have created kernel.conf in my target directory and added O CONFIG_SMP to that file. Rebuilt. I assume that builds a non-SMP kernel. boot/kconfig* has # CONFIG_SMP not set in it so I gather that did work. Booting the kernel on "old" hardware works as before. Good. Booting on the new machine fails. Albeit in a different place: EIP is at stop_mce+0x0/0x19 And the top of the call stack says: alternative_instructions+0xb/0x3e instead of identify_boot_cpu.
