I had a similar problem with a AMD K62-500. Turns out that the CPU itself was
dead. RedHat, SuSE, and Mandrake refused to install. Free BSD would
install, but running top would produce a floating point error. I put in a
K6-200 in the same box, and all is well.
May not be the same problem you are having, but an idea anyway.
