What's wrong are the "cpu family", "cpuid level", and the "flags."

Yep. On my 2.0 kernel, the CPUID and flags are detected correctly:
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu de tsc msr cx8 cmov mmx
Why aren't any of these flags detected in the 2.1 kernel? Why does 2.1
think that a 6x86 is a cpu family of 4? I don't get it
More importantly, why does the CPU type detected change if you set SMP=1?
