I meant to send this to the list but it went only to Blaisorblade.
I'm having trouble understanding this.
Upgrade to what?
I'm using the 2.4.25 because that's our target version. The suggested fix was to boot UML on an older filesystem, but that seemed to have no relation to the "cmove" instruction. Or does it?
And what exactly does an older filesystem mean?
Thanks

Some versions have also bugs with host clocks > 2.1Ghz (likely this is not the
one you are hitting, but anyway). Upgrade as said.
