I'm always suspicious of problems occurring on Pentium-60 based
systems since that was the chip with the infamous division bug. Linux
is supposedly protected against it, but I don't know how secure that
protection is, or whether there's not something in the boot code that
catches it - the BogoMIPS calculation might...
