        Nope he does not work with 486slc machine ;-)

        I have tested Linux with 0.97PL2 + net patches, 0.99.2,
        0.99.4, and currently running 0.99.5 with DP8390 stuff,
        and Linux _does_ work with my 486slc board. Did you
        enable kernel math emulation?

        The board is Forex386-sx with Cyrix 486slc/33 with
        AMI bios, currently only 6MB memory. Linux works
        fine with my motherboards (386/20,386/25+387,486sx/33,
        486slc/33).
