The rough translation of this cryptic definition is: _If SSE isn't enabled_. So apparently Rust uses SSE instructions by default and we didn't enable SSE before. So the fix for this bug is enabling SSE.
### Enabling SSE
To enable SSE, assembly code is needed again. We want to add a function that tests if SSE is available and enables it then. Else we want to print an error message. But we can't use our existing `error` procedure because it uses (now invalid) 32-bit instructions. So we need a new one (in `long_mode_init.asm`):

```nasm
; Prints `ERROR: ` and the given error code to screen and hangs.

error:
mov rbx, 0x4f4f4f524f524f45
mov [0xb8000], rbx
mov rbx, 0x4f204f204f3a4f52
mov [0xb8008], rbx
mov byte [0xb800e], al
hlt
jmp error
```
It's the nearly the same as the 32-bit procedure in the [previous post][32-bit error function] (instead of `ERR:` we print `ERROR:` here).
Now we can add a function that checks for SSE and enables it:
We add it to the `boot.asm` file:
```nasm
; Check for SSE and enable it. If it's not supported throw error "a".
setup_SSE:
; check for SSE

The code is from the great [OSDev Wiki][osdev sse] again. Notice that it sets/unsets exactly the bits that can cause the `Invalid Opcode` exception.
When we insert a `call setup_SSE` right before calling `rust_main`, our Rust code will finally work.
When we insert a `call setup_SSE` somewhere in the `start` function (for example after `call enable_paging`), our Rust code will finally work.
