[expert] booting a kernel compiled with "athlon" results in kernel panick :/

[Adrian Golumbovici]

Hi all,   Have a funny problem. I tried optimising my system by recompiling the kernel to gain a tad of speed. And since I have an Athlon XP 2400+ I thought it might make sense to select athlon in the config. I didn't change at that point any other kernel option in comparison with my bootable config. Funny stuff. It compiled just fine, but when booting as soon as it starts to load the kernel (immediately after it passed lilo), screen goes black for good, keyboard lights flicker short and reboots. Isn't the Athlon option supposed to be used with Athlon processors?!? Any clues on what could go wrong with that option?   Best regards, Adrian
