Hi “Alpinists”,

1st of all, thank you for maintaining such a “perfect-fit-distro”, I’m an absolute fan of AlpineLinux.

Trying to upgrade an elderly IBM-Netstation (Pentium 233 ?MMX?) from the latest Alpine 2.1 to 2.2 resulted in an error-message on reboot, stating this kernel would need a cpu with “cmov”-feature.

Does this mean, that Alpine’s sysreqs increased, or could this issue be resolved using a compile-switch, a boot-parameter, or such?

I hope, I can use my (nearly unbreakable) legacy hardware with Alpine for some other years … ??

10q so much

Joachim (Joe) Weber
