I'm not subscribed to the list but I want to report this problem: I found this in the kernel mailing list archive : > The cyrixIII chips by via have the centaur vendor id which causes the > identify_cpu call in arch/i386/kernel/setup.c to fail. It is probably > reasonable for it to have the centaur id as via owns centaur as well. I > just replaced the centaur_model call with the cyrix_model one, but I > know that I am using a cyrix chip. > > A test probably needs to be added in the centaur_model section to test > for the cyrixIII in disguise. > > The error is a general protection fault. I had the same problem as described above with 2.2.18 and 2.4.0 (2.2.17 boots without any problems) I changed setup.c as suggested in this post and was able to boot both (2.2.18 and 2.4.0). I don't have any kernel knowledge but I'm willing to test something on my box if anyone is interested in solving this problem. (via Cyrix III on a Aopen mx3s board (i815)) TIA Martin Hammerschmid - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
