Hi all. I am trying to figure out the solution to a problem. I have a
machine with K6/2 500 processor on a Gigabyte 5AA mainboard (ALi chipset)
The machine was running perfectly (shall we say) with windows 2000 I have
knifed that and put mandrake 10 (2.6 kernel) on. I had trouble installing
MD at 500MHz so I dropped the speed incrementally down to 250MHz where I
could get MD to install. It ran fine all yesterday at 300 but then this
morning it was rebooting at will so I lowered the speed back to 250. It
will not get past "Uncompressing bios" when at 500. Doesn't anyone have a
solution or come across this problem before. Note this is the first K6/2
processor I have installed linux on. I have it working fine on my Athlon
notebook, same virgin and everything.
Anyway it runs at the lower speed (seemingly) ok
