Athlon's required a newer bootdisk then shipped with 7.0. The problem hasn't existed since 7.0. You should be fine with 7.3. I've had 7.1 and now 7.3 on my AMD Duron which is the same core as the Athlon and it works perfectly. On Mon, 2002-07-22 at 12:44, dep wrote:

i'm running 7.3 on an athlon at this very moment. the update from 7.2 script was fubar, but no problem that required any special athlon-specific fix.

Are you sure about this? 7.0 required a newer bootdisk to install on P4 processors which were new at the time and the installer didn't recognize the CPU, but I can't remember a similar issue for Athlons. Do you have a link with info about this?

7.0 worked out of the box with my athlon. The problem was in 6.2 bootdisk. However I recall something wrong with Athlon processors and AGP, but I cant recall it now. Praise

Yes, you are right. I'm a bonehead and wasn't thinking. I believe I shall refrain from making comments until I recover from moving...too tired to remember my own name sometimes.

Well, that finally answers my question. For the life of me I thought it was athlons that had the problem. But it is a moot point anyway. The cause of the problem was a drive that is going south slowly. When first started it works fine. Then after about 10 minutes or so it just quits. Thanks for the info guys..

I guess I should have been more specific. I had it running on an athlon too. But this is a dual athlon, and when booting from the DVD, it hangs. Never even gets to the initial screen. I thought I remembered something about problems with certain configurations, but can't be sure.. I'll give it another go tomorrow.
