Well, about the generated exception, the manual says:
#UD
If CR0.EM[bit 2] = 1.
(XMM register operations only) if CR4.OSFXSR[bit 9] = 0.
(XMM register operations only) if CPUID.01H:EDX.SSE2[bit 26] = 0.
#NM If CR0.TS[bit 3] = 1.

CR0.EM should be 0 -- I assume you don't run a virtual machine.
CR4.OSFXSR should be 1 -- you have fxsr capability, so the kernel should set it
to 1.
CPUID.01H:EDX.SSE2 should be 1 -- the capability is listed in the flags above.
#NM should not matter. The kernel should just switch the context and kick the
process to continue.

Is there something in dmesg when this happens?
