I have seen very curious problems with K6 CPU´s (in my case a K6-3 400).

There are instabilities with Linux and an AMD CPU if the board setup
is not 100 % correct.

In my case Linux is unstable on a Tyan Tomcat 1563D with an AMD CPU, if
the Dual/Single CPU Jumper is in the single CPU position. The AMD runs
stable if the Jumper is in the Dual CPU position !!!

On one board I got the exact same error as you had! So check up or board
configuration.

Sincerly,
Klaus
