Hey there,

I just added an i387 coprocessor to my Laser 386DX computer. The machine
boots and runs msdos programs including the 387 diagnostics suite that came
with the fpu. However when booting linux (my system uses loadlin) the
system hangs with

.....
boot stuff
.....
.....
CPU 386
Checking 386/387 coupling ...

The boot process fails and I am forced to reboot the machine.

Does anybody have any suggestions?
