My Socket7 ASUS T2P4 with a Pentium | | Classic (pre-MMX) 133MHz boots 2.5.66 just fine. | | Yes, I agree with that suggestion, but I don't see a problem. | Did you look at his .config file? It's here: | http://bugme.osdl.org/attachment.cgi?id=261&action=view | | I'm comparing it to the .config on my Pentium-with-f00f-bug, which does | boot 2.5.65 successfully, and I don't see CPU option differences. | I see lots that don't matter and I see PIIX vs. VIA option differences. | | Oh, and I have CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV enabled, while Robins does not. | Would that matter? Ugh, never mind that last part. I was thinking that was CONSOLE stuff, but it's not. -- ~Randy
