I have a 386DX16 without a math coprocessor and I tried to upgrade it
from 2.1.6 to 2.2.1 this weekend.  After the install (it went fine)
I rebooted the system and when it gets to the spot to start init,
it dies with a floating point exception.  I have installed 2.2.1 on
a 486DX50 and a Pentium 85 with no problems.

It did not make any difference in what kernel I tried,  GENERIC nor
a 2.2.1 compiled kernel (the same config file as in 2.1.x)

It also did not make any difference if I booted multi user nor single
user.

I wound up installing 2.1.7 on the system instead.

Any ideas?
