Summary
Booting an AST Bravo P/75 with kernel v2.4.10 results in a "CPU#0
Machine Check Exception: 0x10C938 (type: 0x9)".

Description
The AST Bravo P/75
<http://www.ari-service.com/support/summary.asp?pn=501701-411&x=26&y=12>
boots fine on a v2.2.19pre17-kernel but both v2.4.10 and v2.4.9 causes
the Machine Check Exception-error with either of the config options
M586TSC, M586, or M386 set. A TB from AST
<http://www.ari-service.com/bulletin/TB/1641TB.HTM> reports a problem
with parity checking using Netware on a number of AST Pentium computers,
caused by the cache parity bit connector to the Pentium processor isn't
connected to the cache. I have not found any information if this is also
the case of the Bravo P/75.

Keywords
2.4.10, Machine Check Exception, AST Bravo P/75.
