System-
Tyan Tomcat II Mobo w/latest BIOS 4.02
Cyrix P166+
64M
6.4 G LBA Mode
/boot at start of drive
fat32 at 2nd partition (3.0G)
/swap at partition 3 - 64M
/ at partition 4 - 3.2G
LILO on Master Boot Record - In linear mode at this time.
Boots ok on boot floppy.
When booting from HDA:
Checks WP bit
Initializes VFS
Checks HLT instruction
Sees the Cyrix- (detects comma bug and enable workaround- same processor ok in other
machine- even swapped them)
Dos POSIX Check
Gets to "calibrating APIC timer ... Invalid Operand"
Gives register dump and comes up with "Kernal panic- Attempted to kill the idle task!
In swapper task not syncing"
Anyone have any Ideas? ( I did attempt a reinstall with the same options as the
running system, a Cyrix 166+ on a Asus MOBO- Same results.)
