K6-2 and debian ?



Hi !

I know it sounds like a stupid question but since i installed my new K6-2/300 i have a lot of problems.

Hardware is:
Gigabyte HX 2.01 board, latest BIOS (with K6-2 support) at 66Mhzx4.5
Symbios 8751 UW SCSI, IBM DCAS 34330 UW etc.

When running this hardware with my K5-PR133, no problem.

When i boot debian with the K6 installed, it displays a _VERY_ strange message:
"386/387 coupling: Hmm, FDIV bug in i586 system ??" and if i try to install something, most dkpg commands die with floating point execptions ???

Anyone on this list running a K6-2/300: please do a dmesg and look for that "386/387" line. Any differences ?

(i suspect the FPU to be broken)
