Via C3 Assertion Failed

[Christoph Mueller]

Hello,

I tried to run the demo-CD on my laptop that has a Via C3 CPU.

The following error occured:

>Assertion failed: '!(*pte & INTEL_PTE_VALID)'
>    in .../boot/ia32/boot_cpu.cc:450 in function (null) at 00300539

Some more info about the processor:

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo:

Is there a way to run DROPS on Via C3 or should i reinstall the energy-intensive Intel Pentium 3?

Thanks,
Christoph
