Very Computer

In source file linux/arch/i386/kernel/time.c of Linux 2.0.25
someone has added the lines :

__asm__ __volatile__ (" movl $0x83, %%ecx \n \                                                             rdmsr \n \                                                      
orl $1,%%eax \n \                                                       wrmsr \n
"                                                                : : :
"ax", "cx", "dx" );              

and my GNU assembler does not recognize the opcodes
rdmsr and wrmsr. To comple Linux rel 2.0.25 i have commented this
__asm__ directive out.

Someone knows more about this problem??

Bye.

oops. Upgrade your binutils package or just get rid of that line. It affects
only K5 users. You need a new version of 'as' which knows that particular
instruction.
