I found some one in the UK who has also AJP 6200T (Pentium 200MHz with MMX)

Thast would be Red Hat Linux 4.1 if you didn't know it. PCW == Personal Computer World , a british computer magazine.

so it appears to be a problem with MMX machines. I am assuming this machine is the AJP 6200 with a __non__ MMX 200 Mhz pentium processer.
Does any one know why a pentium with MHz with fail to a linux boot image such as `boot.img' in the RH Linux. Note this problem also happens with Slackware, and Drop In Linux from my Infomagic LDR Dec 1996 CD ROM.
I would be interested if other (U.S.) users with the Prostar 6200 series have similar boot problems.
