The i686 varieties will boot under qemu-kvm. It is only the 64-bit images that get the expr aborts. All tests were run under a 64-bit version of 12.1.
I did check, and the kvm shell can handle the divides and multiplies without crashing.
OMG! I just figured what causes this. Andreas Schwab added gmp support to coreutils and that library (sit down if you're standing!) has a fixed list of supported CPUs - and well, kvm is not supported. My qemu-kvm has a Intel family 6, model 2 - and this causes an abort, it needs a minimum of model 15 (my laptop has 23, "core2"). I don't know either why kvm emulates such an old model - this is betwen Pentium Pro and Pentium II, neither supports 64bit). But I don't understand why gmp can't take a default then instead of aborting ;( Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
