I want to install Boinc.
Juanito:
Immediately after you enter “boincmgr” and get the illegal instruction message enter “dmesg | tail-10” and see if that gives any clue to the problem.

Okay, the "knocking" of the hard drive is puzzling, but we'll leave that alone for a moment (but still... be mentally prepared for a hard drive replacement "just in case" as the main culprits of knocking drives are bad drives or bad power supplies.)

no no , you misunderstand, it's seemingly normal for this machine to sound like that, it's not really "banging" , it's just noticeable..

--- Code: ---cat /proc/cpuinfo
--- End code ---
We need the lines processor through flags at the very least. (Processor line should contain "processor : 0")
If you need more than one photo to accomplish this
--- Code: ---cat /proc/cpuinfo | more
--- End code ---
...and press the ENTER key to show the next line or SPACE bar to show the next full screen of information.
Specifically, on the flags line, you want to see whether the letters "smt" or "ht" exist.
IF SO, you need to go into BIOS and disable Hyper-Threading (HT/SMT did not exist yet with the Pentium 3 processor generation, but some motherboards which operated with EITHER P3 or P4 Socket 37x processors would have the option to enable HT/SMT with the assumption you had a P4 chip installed. Some laptops, especially ThinkPads of the age, used this "feature" as a potential "upgrade" in their sales pitch in a special line of motherboards which had removable processors... it was rare anyone actually DID the upgrade, though, considering the amount of work/time it takes to dismantle the machine, switch processors, and put it back together.)

There's a space missing in the command. It should be:
--- Code: ---dmesg | tail -10
--- End code ---
