Ok, that's interesting. Mind explaining it a bit more verbosely - which setting is 
causing what?

This would suggest sensitivity on CPUID details, i.e. that doing 
fpu__init_system() before other CPU init sequences is causing the bug.

Does the patch below perhaps make a difference? (I'd suggest to apply it _without_ 
the other patch I sent.)

Thanks,

	Ingo
