While you may have experienced this, it's NOT symptomatic of Athlon systems, or even 750's.
It's more likely you were running into another problem preventing the first stage kernel load... I.E. it wasn't finding the partition table, etc. At "Init" you didn't even have a running kernel. -JMS |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Epicurus |Sent: Saturday, November 10, 2001 12:58 AM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: Re: [newbie] mandrake linux on athlon-based systems? | | |On Friday 09 November 2001 04:55, you wrote: |> just wondering how well mandrake/linux works on athlon-based |systems? |> are there any issues which i need to be careful about? |> |> thanks. | |I've got Mandrake 8.0 runing on an Athlon-750 and can point you to one |problem which you might want to watch out for--appearantly |there was some |sort of problem between the kernel and the BIOS which caused |it to fail |booting; it'd lock up right after the "INIT 2.78" message. |Easy enough to |fix; just make sure you install the older version of the |kernel as well and |if the new kernel turns out to be a problem, go for the old one. :) | |N. |---------------------------------------- |Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; name="message.footer" |Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit |Content-Description: |---------------------------------------- | |
