Dear List,
I am running kernel 2.2.5-15. I am trying to calculate sin(0.9), and it crashes on a 386 board with no f/p hardware. The message I get is:
"Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 7f3c0070......"
The interesting thing is sin(0.8) works fine. On a Pentium the program executes fine for all values.
I tried in 2 different 386 boards, and I get the same problem. The program was compiled on R.H.6.0, and "libm" was present on the 386. I even linked the program statically to eliminate any library dependencies.
This seems like a common problem, and easy to reproduce. Anybody had the same experience?
please reply to mailto:izivkov@yahoo.com
Regards,
Ivo
