Why don't you listen to what we say?
- It is compiled with pgcc using -march=pentium. This allows pgcc to use
pentium specific assembler instructions. It usually won't do it because
we used the safe optimization flags (-O2 as opposed to -O6) because
having a stable distribution is more important than having an ultimately
fast one. But it doesn't say it NEVER does.
- The kernel is compiled with CONFIG_M586 and without
CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION. It might actually boot on a 486 (unlikely
though), but all sorts of weird stuff can AND WILL happen.
Wait for the 486 version, or it's your own fault.
