SuSE Linux installation on an Athlon-system

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 6.2

Symptom:

Installation/Booting fails on a machine equipped with an AMD Athlon/K7-CPU.

Cause:

The current Linux kernel does not have proper MTRR-support compiled in.

Solution:

You need a different Bootdisk than the one shipped - the bootdisk-image is available on our ftp-site:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/disks/athlon

To create a bootdiskette from the bootdisk-image, please refer to the SuSE Linux manual, chapter 2.7.3 (DOS) or 2.7.4 (Unix/Linux).

After having successfully installed SuSE Linux, you'll need to replace the installed default kernel with the one on the bootdiskette.

Your Athlon-based SuSE Linux installation should now boot and run fine.
