Dear AMD:
I have recently purchased an AMD K6-PR166 with the intent of running Linux, specifically RedHat Linux 4.1 (kernel 2.0.27.) However, it crashes during the boot process with a general protection fault in the swapper, and from reading the linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu it appears a number of people have been having the same problem with the K6.
My motherboard is an ASUS TX97-E jumpered according to the indications in the manual for the AMD K6-PR166.
I would appreciate any information you can provide that could assist in resolving the problem, including information of any K6 errata that could be used to implement a workaround.
Sincerely,
H. Peter Anvin
