Hi Seth,
I think that 2.1.5+ is looking best so far. From experience, I've had wonderful results with everything past 2.1.5 (my only complaint is that masquerading is broked past 2.1.9, so I can't run [test] those kernels 'cause I need masquerading). Use Mike Jagdis' Definitive Cyrix Patch #3, it works very well. I have a Cx6x86 P150+ Step 1 rev 7 chip on a Tyan Titan III.
