    Hi,

    My old diskless dual Pentium I 100MHz system does not like the latest
    code. I use etherboot to boot it. I have tried both an UP and SMP kernel
    but it panic in the same way. Looking at the low address values, it
    looks as if it happens very early. Maybe something depends on the
    loader initializing things nowadays? A kernel of about 2 weeks ago
    did boot without a problem, even an SMP one.

    On bootup this is what I see:

    #########################################
    WARNING: loader(8) metadata is missing!
    instruction pointer = 0x0:0xa00
    stack pointer = 0x0:0xffe
    frame pointer = 0x0:0x0
    code segment = base 0x0, limit 0x0, type 0x0
                            = DPL 0, pres 0, def32 0, gran 0
    processor eflags = interrupt enabled, vm86, IOPL = 0
    current process = 0 ()
    kernel: type 30 trap, code=0
    Stopped at 0xa00: cli
