Hi there, I have a running FC2 on a Intel 233mhz motherboard, I want to move it to an AMD-K6-2/500 motherboard but it will not boot.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make this run on the AMD motherboard.
I've done a similar thing a few times with no problems,
Binaries from the main repositories are all i386, so unless you've been installing packages specially compiled for your system I doubt there'll be a problem there.
If you have a Pentium II or higher, then the 686 version will be installed. If you then move that drive to a machine which only has the 586 instruction set, it's not going to work.
