actually, you have a 386 compatible uP. it does several P5 things but doesn't do that 100%. a few instructions don't seem to be of importance because of the hardware setup.
theer is a patch available against a pretty recent kernel that does add some nexgen support. look at www.cantrip.org/ncm.html. there also is a developers mailing list available. -- Roeland Th. Jansen <bengel@xs4all.nl> (2:2802/105.1)
