FWIW I've also been trying to compile 2.4.x kernels with athlon optimizations. The compile mostly succeeds (with make-kpkg), but like you mentioned, the kernel would not boot properly. (It seems) I've finally succeeded with 2.4.13: alpha:~$ uname -mnrsp Linux alpha 2.4.13-k7aki1 i686 unknown alpha:~$ grep K7 /boot/config-2.4.13-k7aki1 CONFIG_MK7=y alpha:~$ uptime 07:55:33 up 7:01, 2 users, load average: 0.02, 0.01, 0.00 -- Sir Isaac Newton: "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."
