Crossing over from #230891 which has been marked a duplicate of this bug. I'd initially submitted it as a separate bug because I wasn't getting the instability with gnome et al; the system as a whole was stable, it was just openjdk that wouldn't install because of this.
A comment added on that bug says: " the package is built with -mcpu=585 -mtune=generic, so it should run on the Via processors." (I presume he meant -mcpu=i586 :-) ) Anyway, that was just answering my speculation on a possible cause (that it might have been built for 686 and thus executing CMOV which Via C3 doesn't support). For myself, I actually ended up putting Gentoo on that machine. Building everything as "-Os -mmmx -m3dnow -fomit-frame-pointer" actually, in this case, really did make a big difference to the usability of the system in a desktop environment (even if it did take a week to install!). However, no openjdk ebuild for gentoo, so I can't report success getting it working there. -- Segfault when installing openjdk-6-jre-headless: installs properly on Intel based hardware, problem appears on Via C3 based machine https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228069 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
