cant install Linux
 

ahhhhh!!!!




ive been trying for about 3 months now to install linux on an old machine of mine (amd k6-2)


ive tried just about every major distro.



ive gotten to this :


boot: linux no-hlt



than as the kernel loads, i get an error along the lines of " cannot mount root yadda yadda.......fixed root= yadda yadda......kernel panic, etc......"



its really frustrating....if any one can help, its much aprecitaed

Hope this helps; http://www.muc.de/~hm/linux/AMD-K6-2+.html
