AMD K6 200 (Gigabyte GA-586TX3 board, 64 MB SDRAM, ATI 3D Rage II+, IBM IDE 6.4GB,
no other special hardware).
gcc is 2.7.2.1

I used `make dep clean zlilo modules modules_install' to build it from
scratch (configuration with make xconfig, starting with default setup - no
previous .config files)
I got 2.0.34 from a local mirror site (2.0.35pre patches from Allan's FTP server).
The patches were always applied to a newly unpacked 2.0.34.

A 2.0.34 runs nicely on my other box (P200 MMX, ASUS TX97_XE, 64MB EDO, 2 IDE harddisks,
Adaptec SCSI with DAT).

If you want, I can send the .config file or more info.
