[Kenny[SP]]

hy guys i installed Mandrake linux distrib 6.1.. intall worked fine but when i boot i get a cool GPF, it comes just after loading the mtrr module... i did found a way, should have booted with autoboot.bat (modified) recompiled the kernel (and disabled the mtrr) and everything is ok.. now i want to know is this something right that mtrr cause a gpf with athlon (using kernel 2.2.11)

I had trouble with using Mandrake on an AMD system. K6-2 it was, but after compiling the kernel for the right family of CPU (Mandrake is compiled for a Pentium Pro ) it was ok.
I just put together an Athlon system and Suse 6.3 runs great I may try Mandy 6.1 on another partition later.
