Hi all,
Does anyone know about a filesystem which does not execute cmov. Also does anyone know a filesystem that's built for earlier processors.
Please help.
Please check my answer to Gboutwel, too.
CMOV is a instruction present only in 686 microchips. You can check this
with:
puma:~# grep cmov /proc/cpuinfo
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge
mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse
puma:~#
As you can see my box has CMOV... Some don't.
To make this a long story: Some distros (all of them?) install optimized
libraries and this presents a problem when you downgrade.
This seems to be the case with that particular image. One way to fix it
is to install the *.386.rpm packages. You can also try the following:
(This may not work and if you don't understand every single step DON'T
DO IT!)
Make a backup of the image. Mount the image with mount -o loop
./image.img /mnt
In /mnt search for lib/i686 and delete this directory.
cd / ; umount /mnt
Then try again with this image.
Good luck and enjoy!
