I run a k6-266 with 64 Megabytes of RAM. When I built the system I set
the CPU speed jumpers to 333 MHz and it ran DOS & Win95 fine and would
boot linux. I got a Signal 11 error while compiling a kernel. I asked for help,
here, and was refered to a signal-11 web page that led me back to clocking
my CPU at its posted speed. The system has been up 129 days. The last time
it was down was for a hardware upgrade.
