Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.17-8-generic

Booting this kernel on edgy amd64 displays "ILLEGAL EXTENDED X86 OPCODE" 3 times on VT1.

<Yagisan> any other amd64 users getting "ILLEGAL EXTENDED X86 OPCODE" on VT1 during boot ?
* lupine_a is now known as lupine_85
<lupine_85> I get that to - in edgy
<lupine_85> too*

Marking this as a duplicate of 56587 only because it was previously marked as a dupe of 60135, which itself is a dupe of 56587. I can't say for sure that they are the same issue (though someone thought so), but I can confirm both symptoms on the same two machines.

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached its end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
