I was trying to install i686 variant of F-13 to an Alix board (2D13 with
Geode LX) and got into troubles. The kernel boots fine, but when it
should start initramfs the kernel panics. Everything works well when
using complete F-12 environment and when using F-12 kernel+initramfs
with F-13 rootfs the initramfs stuff runs well, but when I try to
manually chroot into the F-13 from the dracut shell I get an "Invalid
instruction" exception. I though last change in x86 CPU support was in
F-12 (
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/F12X86Support) and it
explicitly talks about Geode LX as still supported. So the question is
whether F-13 should still work on Geode LX?
Sorry to reopen this old topic, but the conclusion is not obvious. The
F13 is out and it seems to have lost support for the Geode LX CPU
(
cf.http://sharkcz.livejournal.com/5708.html), due to the use of the
NOPL instruction by GCC.
Will this CPU be supported during F13 and above or should I search for a
new distribution ?
