Crash on boot with older PC
Hello everyone,
earlier i was trying to install reactos 0.3.1 on one of my older comps, using the installer cd. See pc specs below:
AMD K6-2 550mhz
64mb ram
voodoo3 video
10gb hard drive
whenever i boot from the cd, it immediately crashes to a BSOD saying there was an error in the freeloader, and something about an invalid opcode. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem is and how i can fix it? Thanks.

Hmm, AMD. There's a piece of unimplemented code in trap.s that's screwing with AMD processors. It's not even fixed in trunk yet, but it's a definite blocker for 0.3.2. At the moment, there's no way around it, except to run ReactOS in an emulator such as VMWare and QEMU. We have prebuilt images for those. Note that ReactOS will not work in VPC at the moment. Or at least I haven't had the time to figure out a way to get it to work.

"BSOD" / invalid opcode also occurs on my Pentium 200 MMX.
