I have both a MPC8548 SBC and MPC8572 system that are running different flavors of the

I explicitly am turning it on very early on. Later, I have an application that is compiled with SPE instructions (e.g.: evstdd) , and there is where the problems happen. If I explicitly make sure there are NO SPE instructions in the application, nothing bad happens!

I am polling the MSR – and it seems the SPE is turned OFF?

What have I done wrong and/or has there been fixes in later kernels that I should be aware of that might help this issue?

Can you explain what you mean by explicitly am turning it on very early on.

I can't think of anything that has changed w/regards to SPE handling.
