Hello,

my computer gets into an infinite loop while booting
Linux pre-patch-2.1.124-1.gz. It writes
"387 failed: trying to reset" over and over.
Kernels up to 2.1.123 worked fine.

The system is based on Dual-PentiumII, 233MHz,
Gigabyte GA-686LX2 motherboard. The kernel is compiled with
egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release)

Find the kernel configuration used at http://www.snafu.de/~zahn/autoconf.h

/proc/interrupts looks like this (on 2.1.115):
CPU0 CPU1
0: 22448 18605 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 1012 864 IO-APIC-edge keyboard
2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade
4: 531 330 IO-APIC-edge serial
7: 13 25 IO-APIC-edge HiSax
8: 0 1 IO-APIC-edge rtc
13: 1 0 XT-PIC fpu
17: 17 18 IO-APIC-level eth0
19: 3757 3753 IO-APIC-level ncr53c8xx
NMI: 0
IPI: 0
