  I just had to replace a motherboard thæt died, with a FIC VA-503+
and an AMD K6-2/450.  I hd applied the heat sink compound and the
heat-sink/fan combo before fireing up the beast.  Have been tweeking
the bios settings and decided to recompile the kernel as it had been
done last with a Cyrix6x86MX166.  I then started getting results
similar to yours

and on and on.

The only way to compile the kernel is to keep repeating the make
bzImage.  After doing that 10-15 tikes the compile completes and then
you have to do the same for the modules compile!

I am running at 100Mhz, not overclocked, and have tried setting the
Gate A20 Option to normal and Fast with no change.

I will let you know what else does/dosen't work when I finish.  My
last try will be loading slackware 3.5 back up on the new HD and see
if it just might be a glib problem.
