Subject: protection violations Date: Sun, 17 Nov 1991 21:06:33 PST From: pmacdona@sol.UVic.CA (Peter MacDonald)
Now that I have my hard drive set up, I keep getting protection
violations. It mostly happens when using gcc. It is along the
lines of:
protection violation: 0000
The hex dump at the bottom is often different. Like ls began with "c3 ".
But this also happens when I boot up sometimes. Or use ls. But
then other commands like em work. I have no 80387.
Could this just be a problem with the bios not setting up the
%cr0 flag correctly? Basically, I haven't even been able to compile
the hello world program yet! Any ideas?
Is it time to get an 80387 (or is a 80287 sufficient).
