Add another to the "it works" group. I've got an Athlon 850 on a KA7-100
motherboard. It's been working reliably with XFS for months (and now with
LVM too).
Standard RH7.2 install with the XFS admin apps and kernel RPM installed.
(both the athlon and 686 kernel work fine.)
Does non-XFS installs work on your Athlons, or is it specifically when you
use the XFS-enabled kernels, or ...?
