We installed with a AMD K5 today.
Several weird errors occured after about 15 minutes of operation:
divide errors on several processes. (even ls)
But after a fresh reboot it would be fine for about 10-15 minutes.
Just like a register running over.
We "fixed" it though:
We compiled a kernel wit copro support and started a kernel
with the no387 option, thus forcing the copro emulation and the
errors didn't return (yet).
The motherboard we installed ahd the latest triton chipset
and a dimm memory connector.
Here are the bootup messages, look at the bogomips ;-)

It seems there is a bug in the AMD or in the kernel somewhere ;-)
