See www.creaweb.fr/bpc/k6bug.html I think there were more problems with Linux than FreeBSD. And, aparently AMD has fixed the bug(s) in the latest stepping of the chip. The site above has all the links to discussions, tests, etc. There may have been discussion in the freebsd-hardware groups also. I have been running FreeBSD 2.2.2 with a K6 for over a month, and no problems. But, read the site to get some idea of which chips might be safe and which one's are not. It seems that there may be some hazy area where it isn't easy to tell by date code which chips are good for FreeBSD/Linux and which are not.
