Trying to install XP on a VIA Eden mainboard (Jetway J7F2WE, CPU
details see below) using a Linux host results in the following error
message:
"Windows requires certain processor features that are not available
on the processor in this computer. Specifically, Windows reauires the
following instructions.
CPUID
CMPXCHG8B
Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit."
AFAIK, the processor knows about CPUID. cat /proc/cpuinfo reads:
processor : 0

model : 10
model name : VIA Esther processor 1200MHz

Not sure about the CMPXCHG8B, but i'd expect it to be there too.
Any idea what I can try?
