has anybody else tried to run pre2.0.6 or pre2.0.7 on a 386 without Math-CoPro
?
On my good old 386 (AMD,40 Mhz, 8 Mb RAM) -- whrere 1.3.98 ran well --
pre2.0.6 and pre2.0.7 hang at boot-time.
Everything seems to be fine until the message:
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
is displayed. then after about 30 seconds ( this takes about 2 seconds
with 1.3.98 )
INIT: version 2.57b booting
is displayed, and that's it, i have to press RESET to reboot.
Clearly, nothing is written to the logs, so i don't know how to give more
information what causes the failure.
I'm using libc-5.3.12 and libm-5.0.6, and, of course,
the kernel was compiled with
CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION=y
CONFIG_M386=y
