I have just completed an install of 2.4.8 on a woody box (K6-2 200mhz)
and a potato box (Athlon 1Ghz). I don't have a module load problem on
either one.
What, specifically, do you mean by 'Athlon optimizations'?
Here is what I have enabled on the Athlon
#
# Processor type and features

CONFIG_MTRR=y
# CONFIG_SMP is not set
CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=y
CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC=y
CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y
Am I missing something? Is there something I should be enabling for
the Athlon that I missed?
What did/do you have configured that I don't?
