I'm in the process of loading SNAP-0322 on a 386DX (33MHz). I've loaded the boot and cpio disks as well as bin- and secure- distributions. Everything went well up to this point - so I went to boot to multi-user. It failed to boot all of the way - getty reported SIGFPE continuously. So I hit the big red switch, booted it to single-user, and fscked the filesystems. At this point, practically everything results in a SIGFPE and a lovely core file. :( It seems that everything out of /bin and /sbin run fine, but anything out of /usr/bin and /usr/sbin result in a SIGFPE. I thought it might have something to do with the Cyrix coprocessor (no flames, I bought the system used at a very good price) so I pulled it. Same thing. Just for grins, I'm going to compile a new kernel using the GPL math emulation, but I doubt that's going to fix the problem. Any clues? Hardware config is as follows: i386DX-33 w/SiS chipset, AMI BIOS, 8MB RAM Cyrix CX-83D87-33-GP WD-1007SE2 ISA ESDI controller WD (?) 16 bit ethernet card Monochrome display adapter
