Hi, When trying the LiveEval 8.1 Disc on a K6-3 system, I found that during boot, a saw several error messages all saying "Illegal instruction". It would continue to the login prompt, but of course many services failed. When I logged in as root, I found simple commands like ls giving the same exact error message "Illegal instruction". I began to thing that this is some kind of optimization/architechture problem. I verified the disc was written correctly. I tried the disc on a K6-2 system (k6-2 and k6-3 are pretty much the same chip). This system has completely different hardware except having the same type of chip. It failed to boot also. I tried the disc on a celeron system. The disc worked. This would not make sense because a k6-2/3 chip is compatible with i586 optimizations. So it could be something else like a problem with the suse provided kernel. Any ideas on what can fix it, and can someone else verify this problem on their k6-2/3 system? Jesse

Try
It's not hanging or just a k6-2 so...
Ok, I tried these kernel parameters: ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off disableapic But there is no difference. I am trying to get a copy of its boot log right now. It is now attached. Let me also add that this system worked with Live Eval version 7.3, 8.0, and has worked with standard SuSE installations of 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3.

Okay, I've narrowed it down I think. It's not a kernel problem it seems. I booted the live cd up and logged in. I used ldd to systematically compare the programs that work, to the ones that don't. I've found that all programs that produce an "Illegal instruction" are ones that are linked to pthread.so.0 I looked at "rpm -qi glibc" and http://www.suse.de/en/private/products/suse_linux/i386/packages_professional... and both say that this is an i686 rpm. Did you optimize glibc for i686? I can't tell because I there is no source rpm available. I don't think it would work on my system if that was the case. Either way, I think pthread is at fault. Jesse

Nice detective work.
I looked at "rpm -qi glibc" and http://www.suse.de/en/private/products/suse_linux/i386/packages_professional... and both say that this is an i686 rpm. Did you optimize glibc for i686?
There are also i586/ rpms depending on the system. I'm waiting to hear back from the developers but I think you got it--the live cd is using the i686 libc. -- -ckm
