Hi Sachin,
you have office machine as AMDK6 and at home its P2.. so i think you need to recompile the kernel for x86 architecture.
Both the AMD and Intel machines are x86 architechure. Generally kernels which come with installations are compiled generic 686 --
they
should work with both PII and K6 upwards.
AMDK6II500 does seem to have a problem with kernels other than i386 or amdk6. Particularly i686. Distro was woody R0 linux 2.4.18, fs was rieserfs. BF24 (stock kernel with distro) did work correctly though. Mobo was ASUS with ALI chipset. This board also has problems with IDE dma.
