Bill Hudspeth wrote: Has anyone out there had a successful Mandrake operating on an AMD 500 CPU? TIA Bill I've been running Mandrake 7.1 on a K6-2/500 since about a week after the .iso's were posted. The only issue I have with it is that it insists that the CPU is an i586, while my Cyrix M2/300 properly registers as an i686. I'm assuming i686 is supposed to mean Pentium/MMX equivalent as opposed to Pentium/NoMMX. Other than that, things were fine here once I got the cards+ file fixed to configure XF86.

Bill Hudspeth wrote: Has anyone out there had a successful Mandrake operating on an AMD 500 CPU? TIA Bill Bill: Yes. I did a motherboard/CPU upgrade in June. (TMC A15VG/AMD K6-2-500/64 mb PC100/10.0 gb Maxtor [Win98SE]/6.4 gb Fujitsu [Linux]/Matrox G200/Zoom 2919). I was running Linux Mandrake 7.0 then. Prior to conversion, I ran fdisk/MBR -- I'm still very much a Linux newbie. Stuck in new board and CPU. Everything ran fine. The neatest part was when I booted to the Mandrake CD (I wasn't sure that I hadn't blown the old install away) -- the whole deal took about a minute. About the only glitch was that I had replaced my old ISA sound card with a Creative PCI card, and there was a minor hassle getting Linux to recognize it. Last weekend I installed 7.1. I chose the upgrade -- that took about 5 hours! So far, so good. But I'm gonna learn more about making backups and Linux configuration before the next upgrade. So far as I know, the AMD K6-3 CPU's work, too. -- Carroll Grigsby

Re: [newbie] AMD 500 CPUs???
Hello Bill, I do have a mandrake with kernel 2.2.15 on an AMD 550. :) its working fine. Though in this kernel the k7 processors are not yet supported. I was told that they will be supported from kernel 2.3. onwards. But I don't have that version yet. That is why in the processor types at the compliation of the kernel i have chosen Pentium Pro. And it works fine with that. Could you please send me some confirmation to this letter because I think that they do not arrive at the mailing-list.
