RE: athlon xp vs. athlon mp (ot...kinda)

Greetings, The XP and MP lines are drastically different architectures, although they use the same core. The MP in Athlon MP means Multi-processing and it is a server chip from start to finish, hence its higher price tag. If you aren't doing any server specific things that require SMP processing

For those that are interested, I found the solution by using the parameter 'x86_serial_nr=1' at the lilo prompt. I can then atleast get into the system and rebuild the kernel to remove the problem. Stu Owen wrote: > I am trying to install RedHat 6.2 on a machine running an Athlon > Thunderbird 8

It's not really processor specific, but specific to the IDE chip sets you're using. However, a board for an advanced processor like the athelon is going to have an advanced IDE chip set as well. I think your best bet is the deja archives in both cases. On Thu, Jan 20, 2000 at 05:32:35PM -0500,
