Hello. I am trying to test Influx 3 OSS, but it does not start. I have tried in Oracle Linux, Fedora and Ubuntu, both normal and docker. Testing from a command line (normalñ install) I always get this: $ influxdb3 serve --node-id=‘node0’ --http-bind=‘0.0.0.0:8181’ --object-store=file --data-dir /home/erobles/.influxdb/data Illegal instruction (core dumped). I am getting this from the system logs: var/log/kern.log:2025-07-01T15:26:56.207910-04:00 eulogio-robles-VirtualBox2 kernel: traps: influxdb3[3024] trap invalid opcode ip:615add9420e6 sp:7ffeff15b2a0 error:0 in influxdb3[5420e6,615add400000+61bd000] /var/log/kern.log:2025-07-01T15:29:40.479637-04:00 eulogio-robles-VirtualBox2 kernel: traps: influxdb3[3210] trap invalid opcode ip:61827a7420e6 sp:7ffda199b520 error:0 in influxdb3[5420e6,61827a200000+61bd000] I have been using Influx 2 for years, without any problem. Thanks in advance. ---

Everything else looks fine otherwise but let me check more and come back. ---

Hello, I reviewed the command, I do not get any syntax error. Even without quotes, a simple “help” command fails: influxdb3 serve --node-id=‘node0’ --http-bind=‘0.0.0.0:8181’ --object-store=file --data-dir /home/erobles/.influxdb/data Illegal instruction (core dumped) $ influxdb3 serve --help Illegal instruction (core dumped) ---

I have it in a Ubuntu machine virtualized using VirtualBox (Windows 11 host). The VM sees this in /proc/cpuinfo: model name : 11th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz The physical machine is a HP Pavilion, 2 yr old laptop. I don’t think it should be a problem… ---

It’s really strange in that case, suggest filing an issue so engineering team can look at it: [GitHub · Where software is built](https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/issues) ---

I am experiencing the same issue on Debian 12 on Proxmox. In my case, with `more /proc/cpuinfo` I get: ```auto processor: 0 vendor_id: GenuineIntel cpu family: 15 model: 107 model name: QEMU Virtual CPU version 2.5+ stepping: 1 microcode: 0x1 ``` The physical CPU is an Intel(R) Core™ i3-6100T on which I run Proxmox. I know it’s quite old, but until now I haven’t had any problems with any software running on Proxmox and Debian. Does all this mean that Influxdb 3 cannot run on relatively old hardware? What are the minimum requirements for Intel processors?
