I recently installed an GVP accelerator board (50 Mhz version) into
my Amiga. I tried to run the sysinfo command to see what i thinks my 
system consists off. And the result is always a visit to the guru.
I see that it fills in as a processor type an 68030 processor but when 
it  should fill in my 68882 it chokes.

When i got the board it seemed that all the straps and jumpers where set
for an AT drive. I let them be because i have an SCSI GVP controller 
with Hard disk. I called up GVP technical support and they advised me 
to take out the bootrom for an AT drive on the accelerator board.
And i didn't need to do anything to the jumpers. ANd after that i 
could try to run the sysinfo program again. But again no luck it 
still chokes on me and chrashes the system.
When i remove the board and run the program all is fine and my system
does not chrash on me at all.

I don't think the sysinfo information that the program gives is that
importent but it makes me wonder why it chrashes the system.
Since i hope that it isn't the board that is at fault.

My system configuration s as follows:

	Amiga B2000.   (PAL version)
	A2320 Display enhancer.
	NEC 3D Monitor.
	4 Mb 32 Bits ram.
	3 Mb 16 Bits ram.
	GVP 50 Mhz Accelerator.
	GVP Impact HD controller, 40 Mb Quantum Harddisk.
	
My question is, has anybody ever seen the same problem, or does 
anybody what is causing this problem.  (It seems unlikely that the
sysinfo tool can not handle a 50 Mhz board.)

Most other programs i tried run fine, except ofcourse the GNU-EMACS
but that one crashed even in my old configuration. :-)

Any help is apreciated....
