Machine architecture?
# cat /proc/cpuinfo
vendor_id : CentaurHauls
cpu family : 6
model name : VIA Samuel 2
cpu MHz : 533.501
cache size : 64 KB
flags : fpu de tsc msr cx8 mtrr pge mmx pni 3dnow
In the kernel config this shows up as Via C3 processor...
CFLAGS="-Os -march=i586 -m3dnow -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu"
USE="... mmx 3dnow ..."

Nothing. It works just fine (I did this enough times before). You just
probably didn't match the CFLAGS and/or MMX/SSE USE flags to the
"underpowered system" but compiled your binaries for the faster
architecture.
I guess you are right. for i686 system I have
CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O2 -pipe"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
If I recall correctly now , //proc/cpuinfo shows this as a Pentium4 with
flags showing sse sse2 .
Even the gentoo i686 livecd does not boot on the mythtv system. Just
after uncompressing the kernel, system reboots.
I think I will have to use a rescue CD of some sort.
