Hi everybody,
Some time ago I tried 2.4.0 compiled with option for duron-processors,
yesterday I tried 2.4.1; both give problems on insmod/modprobe with some
modules, eg. tulip.
The offending function is _mmx_memcpy, which can be found in the System.map

The inter_module_* feature of 2.4 is neat ... so neat that tpctl-2.0
actually requires it. I figured it would be easier to backport the
feature rather than to make tpctl get along without it. The backport
was quite clean. Perhaps you'll want to include it in 2.2.19

Currently there are 2 fpu users in the kernel:
raid5 checksumming and 3dnow memcpy/memset.
raid5 checksumming is not problematic, but _mmx_memcpy() has unexpected
side effects if someone else is also using the fpu:
memcopy is a really generic function, and calling it saves the current

Any any idea on how I could change it? Also, could the
