I believe the kernel was compiled for Pentium Pro and up systems. Would this |
| 13 |
cause it to not be compatible with a standard K6? If so, we can move the |
| 14 |
optimizations back to Pentium Classic, if that will work for everyone. |

Congratulations, you found a potential bug :) Let me know how you'd like |
| 17 |
your kernel optimized and I'll compile a .tbz2 for you. If that ends up |
| 18 |
being the problem, I'll have it fixed in rc4. |
