I was wondering is there an older centos version that has emulation already built in? Which one ? I am not stuck on using 4
CentOS 3 has only i586 and i686 kernels, those both rely on hardware FP
no, I think you'll need to build your own kernel RPMs for that one, or use a different sort of distro entirely. You'll need a i386 kernel, as that was the last CPU which had external/optional FP.
ISTR that you could enable FPU emulation on any arch, and it would be ignored if a FPU was present. Has this changed?
