I had a small problem while trying to boot a linux kernel 2.0.30 on a
computer with a K6 processor.
The kernel was bare.i from slackware 3.4.
The symptom is that after loading the ramdisk a reboot occurs while trying
to detect the speed of the CPU(i think). I can't bet on it because this is happening
to quick for my eyes.
The machine has a Triton TX motherboard with 512K cache and 64Mb RAM.
The only card on that computer was a NE2000 compatible(no SB or other
devices) but I think that this doesn't matter since the kernel doesn't
reach that point.
First I thought that if I will compile a new kernel(ie 2.0.33) I'll get rid of
this problem but I was wrong.
I tried to boot with mem=16 and no change!
Can someone tell me how to find out what's wrong there?
