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?

Regards,

  Ronald.
