I have an Asus p55t2p4 mother board (3.10 rev+ 3.2 volt ready) with a K6/233 running 2.2.5-RELEASE. I upgraded, after FreeBSD was installed, from a P100 and experienced no difficulty booting up the GENERIC kernel. My upgrades included the processor and scsi card. I haven't compiled a custom kernel yet with the K6, but will get back to you if any problems surface. BTW: I don't use windows on this machine at all and it runs just fine :-) -- jmastrol@mcs.net Politically, Fashionably, and Aerodynamically Incorrect.
