Dear Kernel team:
                                 I have some question about Kernel 2.4.6~2.4.16.

                                 I make Kernel 2.4.6~2.4.16 on my system.But the O.S will dump on every time(If i set CPU type for AMD Athlon/Doron/K7)
.And has results in message:

                   It's all.

                   So,how to fix the "big problem"?

                   If set CPU type for "P-III / Celeron".System fine! Why?


My H/W configuration:
                                       VIA Chipset: KN-133 ' KLE-133(North Bridge)       
                                                               686B(South Nridge)

                                        AMD Duron-850 ' Mobile Duron-850

                                        On-Board 64M SDRAM(Share 8M VGA ram)

Re: Kernel issue 2.4.6~2.4.16

[Alan Cox]

Generally speaking if you have an AMD Athlon based board that will run with
a Pentium II/III kernel but not and Athlon optimised kernel you have a
hardware flaw, or misprogrammed chipset.

Some BIOSes misconfigure the VIA chipsets at least, and that causes this 
problem when we run the memory bus flat out with the athlon optimised 
prefetching memory copies
