Me too.

Toasted my 2.0.34 (pre-whatever -- it's the stock RH5.1 kernel).  Didn't
touch my SMP (ooops -- I _always_ forget :) 2.1.100 for i686.

processor       : 0
cpu family      : 5
model           : K6 (166 - 266)
vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
stepping        : 2
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
sep_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 1
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 mmx
bogomips        : 398.95

Since we have K6 people here, perhaps someone would care to tell me what
the right processor type for the K6 is?  make config says it's an i686,
but /proc/cpuinfo says i586...

Matthew.
