0.6 base, laptop - unexpected reboot

Question

hi there
i was trying to install arch from my base 0.6 cd, on my laptop (K6-III),
which worked on 2 other pc too.
Booting from cd worked fine!
then the boot prompt appears and i pressed "enter" ;-)
ok but the first vmlinuz.... line is written on the screen
then a second one and a short third (i think something like "ready.")
then suddenly my laptop reboots.....
how do i install arch in this case (mandrake/gnome/suse/lycoris working well!!!!)
greetings matto

Hi!
i586 and i686 are Intel standards. Your AMD CPU is not 100% compatible with i686, but it's better, than an i586. So you can't use i686 apps, which use these not supported (by your CPU) commands. And most i686-optimized progz use these. So unfortunately you can only use i586 optimized apps. Of course the best is that you use k6 optimized progs, but then you will compile them yourself with mcpu and march=k6 option.
