Our fastest computer no longer boots into linux, starting today (after I changed to the onboard AGP video from PCI, and changing back did not help).

Linux starts to boot, checks memory, it gets a general protection fault 0000 and then it goes on to the cpu. CPU: 0

Then a lot of stack, call trace, code numbers (1234 0587 etc) and kernel panic.

memtest has not found any problems. It boots into DOS or Win98 okay but not BL2 or BL3 (from ext2 partition).

We are going to try hwinfo, but why would Win98 work where linux does not? This computer has been running linux fine (except for needing to set hdparm and printing only with older printers and refusing to mount hdc unless there is an hdb) for over a year now.

What can we try other than replacing the cpu? Luckily we have one 2/3 the speed, also AMD K-6. We can also of course replace the whole computer but my partner has a final exam next week. We have a dual-CPU board and two 200MHz cpus for it to play with eventually.
