What about UYOK? same problem?

BTW I built i386 packages on a intel pentium M using a SuSE 10.0, but it seems
that BOEL is configured to run in i586 family:

$ grep M.86 patches/linux.i386.config
# CONFIG_M386 is not set
# CONFIG_M486 is not set
CONFIG_M586=y
# CONFIG_M586TSC is not set
# CONFIG_M586MMX is not set
# CONFIG_M686 is not set

Maybe we should set CONFIG_M386, but I don't know if this could fix the problem
with VIA C3 processors and all the other compatible archs...

Correct.
