I have tried using an older BIOS version, upgrading to 2.4.10-pre14, and even applying the VIA patch, with no effect on my problem. When the kernel is compiled with the Athlon settings, absolutely nothing happens after LILO uncompresses the image. The keyboard and powerswitch also stop responding and I am forced to do a hard reboot. k6, ppro, and i386 settings let Linux run without errors for days. Thanks for CCing me the info as I am not subscribed to this list, Jim
