http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=130438580705332 says it's a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+, i.e. a good old K8 desktop. The X86_ELAN Kconfig option, however, says:
config X86_ELAN bool "AMD Elan" depends on X86_32 depends on X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM ---help--- Select this for an AMD Elan processor.
Do not use this option for K6/Athlon/Opteron processors!
If unsure, choose "PC-compatible" instead.
so if the sentence before last used to mean anything, this could be a problem. Quick search about it gives http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/1/12/239 which introduces that different compiler arch for ELAN: -march=i486, which could conflict with the generic selection?
Hmm.
