I posted this at the hardware forum, but then found this one. I think this is a better fit for my question.<br><br>Hello<br>I have a system with a K6 233 and 64 M ram. I'm using Boot Manager with Win 95, OS/2 Warp, and Linux (Redhat 6.2). Everything works fine. I'm slowly switching to run everything under Linux. I recently tried installing a K6-2 300. Win95 has no problems with the new processor. OS/2 and Linux will not boot. Linux starts booting, displaying Loading Linux......... The cursor jumps to the next line, then stops. No errors, nothing. It isn't decompressing the kernel. I've reinstalled with no success. Putting the K6 233 back fixes things. Any ideas on how to get the K6-2 to work?<br><br>Thanks
