Hi All, I'm trying to install on a p615 using a FC3 dev install disk I recently downloaded. At kernel load I get "Unrecoverable FP Unavailable Exception 800 at d00000000002ad28". Has anyone else seen this and/or know how to get around it?

p615? This being an offering from IBM right?

I think this bug just got fixed a couple of days ago, and has been upstreamed as well, so while Fedora rolls a new kernel for you, you're going to have to wait...

There's a patch on the linuxppc64-dev lists if you're willing to roll your own installer...

Hi All, Just downloaded the latest Fedora dev (date Sept 27) and still get the "Unrecoverable FP Unavailable Exception 800 at d00000000002ad28". Any ideas?

Thanks, Niki

Thanks Colin. I think I'll have to go with the new kernel at this point. This of course would imply using an older version install and getting it compatible, which I'm guessing might be hairy. Can anyone suggest a stable previous version to at least boot off of and a compatible kernel to go with?

Kernel hasn't changed, so error is still there. I'm not sure how long the kernel freeze is going to last for... (or if it'll go on till FC3)

Why not roll your own kernel and get on that way?
