I used this: CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i586 -pipe" Because when I untarred the i586 file it was what was written by default into the make.conf file by: stage3-i586-2006.0.tar.bz2 When booting I gave these options gentoo-nofb acpi=no nosmp > For this type of machine, I'd go with the stage 3.

I did use the latest portage I could find: portage-latest.tar.bz2 The K6 is now compiling a hardened kernel. Thanks to all, as it was a lot of little things that helped!
