Re:Tiny Core v9.0 Released on Wednesday February 28, 2018 @02:30PM (#16485970)
quoted from main site

Core (11MB) is simply the kernel + core.gz - this is the foundation for user created desktops, servers, or appliances. TinyCore is Core + Xvesa.tcz + Xprogs.tcz + aterm.tcz + fltk-1.3.tcz + flwm.tcz + wbar.tcz

In my experience on older machines, it's possible why it's happening on Unix based OS's and not Windows is because Unix based tend to get more out of your hardware than Windows and this sort of hardware instability shows more frequently.
Re:Ask HN: x86 SMP with cpus on different processor modes on Sunday October 30, 2016 @01:04PM (#12830851)

https://github.com/mit-pdos/xv6-public

file "entryother.S" is asm that executes on AP's and "bootasm.S" executes on the BSP... both after the BIOS

so... maybe?

maybe that's what your looking for?
