Problem: Pentium F0 0F bug
Pre MMX Pentium computers can lock up
if they execute a certain illegal instruction

Upgrade to Linux kernel 2.0.32 or later. If you use the Red Hat

Problem: boot errors
After a recompile of the kernel, you see error messages about
"net-pf-4" and/or "net-pf-5" at boot time.
Solution:
This is mentioned in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/modules.txt. If you
compile your system to use modules, you may need to add
the following lines to your /etc/conf.modules
file to turn off ax25, ipx, and appletalk (if you don't
use these things):
alias net-pf-3 off #ax25
alias net-pf-4 off #ipx
alias net-pf-5 off #appletalk
