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.
Well, it's certainly a hardware problem of some sort since we have literally dozens of K6-2 systems here - we built a cluster of them for package building and have a bunch of them also serving in various FreeBSD desktop roles. They all work flawlessly, from FreeBSD 3.x all the way up to 5.0-current. Where the hardware problem is with your system is, of course, almost impossible to diagnose remotely but rest assured that it is NOT a software issue. I'm also not saying that you implied such was the case, I just wanted to state such publically and for the record.
Ditto. I'm slowly but surely dumping all my Intel Pentium stuff, plus most of my 486 or older stuff :-) I've been using the ASUS P/I-P55T2P4, the venerable Triton II overclocker's board, which I've got a plethora of, and some P5A's. My baseline systems are now K6/233's, ranging up to K6-III-400's (which still seem to be faster than their K6-2 higher speed counterparts). Only using Intel for the SMP stuff now. And on my laptop :-(
