Does 2.4.6 fail ?

Crashed doing FPU setup

Your boot CPU ends "cmov mmx" (ie Pentium II)

And the second processor has fxsr (ie SSE - preventium III)

It looks like that is tripping a bug that got re-introduced in 2.4.6 or
2.4.7 (hence I asked which failed). That would explain why there haven't
been millions of reports
