i am not suscribed to this list so please cc the comments and replies to vivek_ramachandran@rediffmailcom i have an amd k6-2(?) processor.i compiled the latest 2.4.4 kernel with cpu ak k6-2.i got the following error "loading linux............ uncompressing linux...... ok,booting kernel" and the system hangs. i understand from the archives that this means the cpu id is wrong.is there any other reason for this. i tried another experiment i compiled the kernel for cyrix3 and i am able to boot normally. i know that the cpu is marked amd as i assembled it myself. any help will be appreciated vivek.r _____________________________________________________ Chat with your friends as soon as they come online.
