asterisk users - Nov 2012 - Asterisk not starting (illegal instruction core dumped)

Hi List members,
Thanks for the support so far as I try to install and test my first
asterisk system.
I was able to finally install asterisk-1.8.18.0 with libpri-1.4.13 and
dahdi-linux-complete-2.6.1+2.6.1 according to the instructions given in
the online documentation (asterisk the definitive guide).
But while trying to start asterisk with the following command
"/usr/sbin/asterisk -cvvv" or "/usr/sbin/asterisk -c" I get
the message
"Illegal instruction (core dumped)"
Kindly advice on what to do.

thanks

Adolphus Enaboifo

I suspect you have something wrong in your server hardware... have you
tried running a memtest?

Build for the wrong processor type? Wrong arch? Kernel binary format
support?

I've had this trying to install Asterisk on a machine with a VIA processor.
Turned out to be VIA's fault for pretending to be an i686 when in fact it
only
supported a subset of i686 instructions  (and Asterisk wanted to use one of 
the ones that it didn't).

The cure was to make distclean and re-compile for an i586 target.

Please post the contents of /proc/cpuinfo on the machine which is failing to 
run Asterisk.
