After spending a good deal of time messing with the K6-2 450 w/ 64MB server for my school's LUG, I'm about ready to toss it out the window. Every time I boot a RedHat, Mandrake, or FreeBSD install, I either get a kernel panic on boot every other time or a signal 11 halfway through an install. I've tried the following to check the hardware, and I think the only thing left is the memory, which I have none to swap with: -tried installing with and without ethernet card(s) -swapped video cards -floppy and hard drive are good as a win98 bootdisk and format work fine -CD drive is good, as I stole it from scott's desktop -checked the bus/multiplier/voltage jumpers and they're fine, no visible memory voltage jumpers -set bus to 66mhz just to see if it wasn't PC100 memory, still same results -reset bios defaults to make sure all low-level hardware settings were cool Any suggestions before I attempt a 48-dollar collection for a new 64MB PC100 dimmstick?
