Re: [hlds_linux] Re: Hlds doesn t work with K6 Cpus! / Error!
a k6 is actually "p-1" technology. Valve requires i686 which is p-3(athlon) or higher IIRC. Steve! wrote: I no longer have an equivelent CPU to try here, but can confirm that it runs on a pIII which is a similar chip performancewise imo. Perhaps something else, i.e memory or drive errors?

It seems to be the problem, that hlds is lacking support for amd k6 cpus. With Amd K7 and newer - it looks like it works. But with Amd K6, for example the 400 Mhz - this error occurs - on serval systems. (for example with kernel 2.4 on one, and with kernel 2.6 etc.) So it looks like there is a problem with the cpu support. Could anyone fix that problem?
