On boot of 2.1.125, I get an oops after this line:

calibrating APIC timer ... invalid operand: 0000

The oops was at calibrate_APIC_timer + 32, which in this kernel is:

setup_APIC_timer(1000000000);
wait_8254_wraparound ();
HERE IS WHERE THE OOPS HAPPENED
RDTSC(t1);

I don't have any idea why a rdtsc might cause an oops, or where the invalid
operand message came from, or even why the APIC timer is being calibrated on
my single-processor Cyrix 6x86 133MHz PR166+. I still want to use 2.1.125
though, for fbcon + KGI, so however I can fix this, I'll be willing to try.

BTW, this error happened with 2.1.124 also, I haven't used other 2.1.1xx
