(The messages during boot time can 1571506f1d07SSam Ravnborg give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].)

(This behavior can be changed with the kernel 1577506f1d07SSam Ravnborg command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor 1578506f1d07SSam Ravnborg is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot 1579506f1d07SSam Ravnborg loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at 1580506f1d07SSam Ravnborg boot time.)

This is most useful if you have 1596506f1d07SSam Ravnborg a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus.
