    I'm trying to set up an Empires test server for my gaming clan, but I've hit a snag. The server won't start. It crashes with the following output to the console:

    Code:
    ./srcds_run: line 344:  8520 Illegal instruction     (core dumped) $HL_CMD
    Cannot access memory at address 0xb7f8c4e8
    Cannot access memory at address 0xbf89de90
    /usr/games/srcds_l/debug.cmds:3: Error in sourced command file:
    Cannot access memory at address 0xb7f8c4e8
    email debug.log to linux@valvesoftware.com
    Thu May  8 14:05:54 ADT 2008: Server restart in 10 seconds
    Thu May  8 14:06:00 ADT 2008: Server Quit
    And this is the relatively useless entry in the debug.log:

    Code:
    CRASH: Thu May  8 14:05:54 ADT 2008
    Start Line: ./srcds_amd -tos -game empires +map emp_isle +maxplayers 16 -heapsize 262144 +ip 192.168.0.101 -pingboost 1 -pidfile scrds.pid -debug -tickrate 66 +exec server.cfg
    Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".
    #0  0xb68c5a03 in ?? ()
    No symbol table info available.
    End of Source crash report
    I've tried starting with no command line options other than "-game" and "+map", with the same result. My search on the web seems to indicate that the problem is that my processor doesn't support the sse instruction set, however, the server is running an AMD Athlon XP processor, and I know it supports the sse instruction set. I run a DOD: Source server on the same box and it runs without any issues.

    Am I missing a library, or is there a compile option for my kernel that I might have missed?
