Let's put it this way, I've posted a NUMBER of items to the -stable list over the last 2-4 weeks as I've fought this one. I can't get a CPU/BIOS/MB with a K6-2/550 on it to SUCCESSFULLY/RELIABLY make world.

I'm tired of fighting it.

The *SAME MEMORY STICK* runs just fine on this Shuttle AV61 motherboard with Intel P-III 600E CPU.

I can't get a more accurate description from the techs.

if you want to trouble shoot it, be my guest, but I can't give any more time to it.

I've played with ALL the BIOS settings on both a HOT-591/P and a HOT-597 Shuttle board with the K6-2/550, and also TONS of Kernel settings, nothing gets a successful repeatable MAKE WORLD.

Therefore I went, reluctantly, and at a $200 cost, back to Intel.

I resent your comment that it's memory or processor (read the threads I've posted recently).

(mutilated description of hardware-related problems with AMD K6-2 deleted) hmm.... I can't (the AMD K6-2 is back at the computer store), as I said, that computer now has an Intel P-III 600E in it :-).

The tech's at IMS did say that AMD did admit to "some problem" with the K6-2's, so I'm not sure that an earlier FreeBSD will help...

There have been "some problems" with all processors. Without any more accurate description, this statement doesn't help.
