Comment #15 on issue 9007 by lewiscollard: Crash on First Run http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=9007
Here we go. Apologies to anyone that is notified of these follow-ups receiving one so soon after my last one. y...@plz:~$ gdb chromium-browser <snip> (gdb) run <snip> Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction. ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit--- [Switching to Thread 0xb72126c0 (LWP 24727)] 0x08524b50 in ?? () (gdb) x/i $pc 0x8524b50: cvtsi2ssl 0x1c(%ebx),%xmm0 I don't see cvtsi2ssl documented anywhere (not even in Intel's own IA-32 manual, hooray), but I'm guessing from the name that it's an SSE instruction. That would explain it croaking on my (non-SSE) processor, and any other non-SSE processor. So, for me, it's looking like a PPA build issue, rather than a Chromium issue. Those with SSE-supporting processors above might want to run gdb themselves to figure out what instruction is causing the problem. Notably, none of the /proc/cpuinfo's posted above show SSE2 or SSE3 support, so perhaps the PPA binaries have, for whatever reason, been built for a Pentium 4-or-later target? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
