ReactOS 0.3.1 FreeLoader issue

Post by Tiansen »

Congratulations for release!

Just for info: On AMD K6-2 500 MHz FreeLoader fails with Invalid Opcode.
0.3.0 boots fine on the same computer.

There are known problems with AMD processors => invalid opcode

OK, I thought it was known only for Athlon XP.

Is this due to same Intel-only optimizations? Is it not written in some generic i386 code?

I also have a INVALID OPCODE on a Pentium MMX 200.

Not necessary. There was such a problem due to buffer overflow.

You said "was". I think you mean there was another such problem due to buffer overflow. My problem is still present in the trunk too, right?

I don't know. Test it, if you like.
