thanks for a lot if useful info :) so far it just confirms the main point of original post.
- there is mismatch between kernel and glibc point of view what i686 is where glibc asumes processor supports featutres it does not - mandrake patches kernel to not call itself i686 when these features are known to be missing - installing vanilla kernel without this will break things at least now I understand what this breakage was about :) and does this still exist in 9.2? -andrey
