TC 8.2.1 sh crash on boot

[Maksim]

Hello everybody,

I downloaded Tiny Core Plus version 8.2.1, wrote to the CD, tried to run on the old laptop and got an error. The previous version of 7 works fine on it.

Part of the message from the console:

Thank you.

That is a glibc bug, specifically affecting older processors only. If you google the message, you can pinpoint the affected versions; it's also been mentioned here before. We generally do not change such core components in a release, and anyway 9.x is already underway.

Please use either version 7 or 9.

OK, many thanks!
