If all you want is to take Mandrake's 'stock' configuation, but
compile it for Athlon, then (as root)
o Install kernel-source rpm
o cd /usr/src/linux
o cp .config k7config
(note, older kernel-source pkgs might not have the stock .config
included. In this case you'll need to get the one in /boot, eg
cp /boot/config-2.4.xx-xxmdk k7config )
o use a txt editor to make these changes to k7config
# Processor type and features
(showing only the lines to change)
# CONFIG_M586 is not set
CONFIG_MK7=y
o edit Makefile and change EXTRAVERSION = <this part>, and uncomment
the line export INSTALL_PATH=/boot
o make mrproper
o cp k7config .config
o make oldconfig
o make dep && make clean && make bzImage && make modues
o make modules_install && make install.
o Done, the new kernel is ready (as a choice) when you reboot
On the Intel system you'd be better off stickin with i586
