Hi! Yesterday I tried out the i686 LiveCD for my laptop with a K6 processor.
First of all, I am a bit confused on whether or not the K6 will run i686 correctly. Some sources on the internet say yes, others no. However, the LiveCD boots fine, so I thought all was OK. However after installing stage3 and the prebuild backages, I did $ chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash and I got an "Illegal instruction". So, apparently my K6 processor has problems with i686 anyway. This surprised me a bit, since I expected the LiveCD to also run i686 compiled binaries. Ergo: if it boots, it will also run after installing from the harddrive. No such luck, though. Any comments?
