Description of problem:
I compiled the kernel 2.4.19 for my AMD K6-2/400. When booting this Kernel in
this machine, there is a crash when starting the network module ne2000.o
(modularized).

If I compile the Kernel for i386 processor, then my AMD-machine is booting
correctly and runs without problem. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set processor type during Kernel make (make menuconfig) to AMD-K6, use ne2000
as network interface card type (as module)
2.Make kernel
3.Reboot
4. Crash when calling "/etc/init.d/network start"
	

Actual Results:  crash when starting ne2000.o

Expected Results:  network up
