Maybe it's an illegal instruction in an early phase. Pentium III (Katmai) doesn't have "sse2". Pentium-S doesn't have "mmx", "sse" or "sse2".
I'm having this problem in a 32bit Tumbleweed VM (in VirtualBox) too, the host is an AMD Athlon64 which definitely has "mmx", "sse" and "sse2"... The 4.7.6 kernel boots fine here as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Just to be sure: did anyone try "dis_ucode_ldr" boot option?
Yes, that was the first thing I tried. But it didn't have any (positive) effect. I tried it again to be sure (I could have made a typo), and no, it doesn't help here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

but "crashes" (i.e. reboots immediately after the kernel/inintrd is loaded) when running inside VirtualBox (all on the same host).
I noticed that if I enable IO-APIC in the VM settings (under "System") the 4.8.4 kernel works, if it's disabled it immediately reboots after the kernel is loaded. Maybe this helps in finding the problem? Also I noticed when booting the LiveCD that this message shortly is displayed after the kernel is loaded, before the system reboots: "Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... OK" (I don't see that message when booting the Tumbleweed installation) edd=off doesn't help though (it only makes this message disappear). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Can you reproduce with qemu/kvm instead?
Sorry, I can't try that. My CPU has no virtualization support... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yap, that rings a bell. I'm willing to put some money on this:
ff8560512b8d ("x86/boot/smp: Don't try to poke disabled/non-existent APIC")
which is already queud for stable.
Wanna apply it ontop of your kernel, rebuild and retest?
This one I suppose: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f... I will try it out and report back. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I will try it out and report back.
Unfortunately this doesn't help with VirtualBox. Here are my packages, if somebody wants to try that patch on real hardware: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/wolfi323:/branches:/Kernel:/... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yeah, this got reported on lkml too and we're debugging:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/ca86ac5f-ce41-4773-98c5-9f55bac43503@default
I'll let you know once a fix is found.
Thank you. But it's not a problem for me anyway, especially as I have a workaround now (enabling IO-APIC). ;-) I will still give the patch posted that mailinglist thread a try though: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/10/28/581 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
