When I initially installed my new Asus K7M (Athlon 600) motherboard under an already existing linux system that was compiled for an AMD k6-3, I had no problems, and it ran like a champ. Something caused me to have to reinstall Windows 98 again which replaced my boot sector with Windows 98. The usual cure for this is to boot into linux using the Suse boot disk or an alternate boot disk, then rerun lilo. The problem I ran into was booting from the Suse floppy for 6.2, which contains kernel 2.2.10. I got around this by making a DOS floppy, put loadlin on it and compiling a kernel on another machine for the AMD and other useful options. I mention this because I think it will be darn near impossible to install Suse linux from scratch on the Asus K7M unless an alternate boot floppy is used. I suspect it is chipset related, and not related to the CPU itself. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
