Hi,
I'm trying to install FC2 onto a system using a VIA Eden mini-ITX system. When I boot the installer from CD I get to the screen asking for the installation type, I press enter and after accessing the CD some more, the system is reset and this process just keeps on looping.
I've had some discussions about this on a local Linux User Group mailing list (www.luv.org.au) and one responder suggested I might have issues with the chip not implementing cmov. However, from
/proc/cpuinfo we have:
[root@music proc]# more cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : CentaurHauls cpu family : 6 model : 9 model name : VIA Nehemiah stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 999.531 cache size : 64 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu de tsc msr mtrr pge cmov mmx fxsr sse bogomips : 1992.29
I also ran a little program which does a more explicit test for the implementation of cmov
and this ran successfully.
Has anyone had success in booting from the FC2 CDs on this hardware? I had no such problems installing FC1 on exactly the same system.
