Sounds like a configuration error. Make sure you configured your kernel for a C3 (CONFIG_MCYRIXIII) or a P5MMX -- NOT a regular 686. Same goes for user-space libraries etc: they MUST NOT be compiled for a 686-class machine.
(VIA C3 pretends to be a 686 but does not implement the CMOV conditional move instruction. In theory this is ok because CMOV is officially optional, but gcc uses CMOV when compiling for 686 since every other known 686 has it.)
