Is the K6 classed as an i586 or i686 if the former you need to do the following to install RC2, from the release notes:


"Installer built with i686 kernel. In order to install on i586 machines you will need to do the following:

1) Press shift while booting to get the boot menu.
2) Type "smei586" at the boot prompt. "
