Re: 2.6 kernel image for AMD-K6-2
Maybe I got it wrong since I am a bit new to the scene.
But this is what I did.
Download the latest 2.6.17 kernel source from kernel.org.
unpack in your sources directory.
make menuconfig
goto processor type and features
select processor familly and ypu are in business.
running happely kernel 2.6.17.X on my K6-2 box

AFAIK no, IIRC Athlon was the first fully 686 compatible processor. You
can go with the -386 kernel instead, IMHO you won't loose much by using
