In fact, I had once a problem when my AMD/K6 (200MHz,
B stepping) hanged on "Checking HLT" with RedHat 4.2
(and whatever kernel it shipped). Probably could be
solved with "nohlt", but I didn't know all this then.

Works fine now, and feels just slightly hot when idle.

 what is bogomips ?

The kernel's internal CPU parameter, which's scale
differs from one CPU to another (on my AMD K6,
it's 2 times the MHz, while on Pentiums it's 1 to 1),
so it cannot be used for speed measurements or
benchmarks whatsoever.

There's a mini-HOWTO about this.
