I am not using floating point in the kernel. Only reference to floating point I founf was in rtai module rtai_sched, which provides floating point library. I loaded this module with insmod rtai_sched.o LinuxFpu=0 There is should be no floating point support (after LinuxFpu switch), but system still crashes with signal 8. Other rtai modules are rtai_fifo and rt_mem_mgr Usman Seth Arnold wrote: >On Wed, Nov 06, 2002 at 04:52:00PM -0500, Raghu R.
