I have rebuilt my kernel (2.1-960606-SNAP) to include 486 and 586 support. I have in the system, an adaptec 2940, a hercules Ark1000 Pro pci video and a SMC 9332 pci 10/100 ethernet card. The system has 32 megs of ram. When I boot the system, the CPU is detected as a 486 CPU. When I try and run X, the system starts to load X and then the screen blanks out and reboots. My question is will there be support ofr the Cyrix 6x86 chip and is there a work around for my problem? The system otherwise runs very well and is rather quick compared to a similar Pentium 150 based machine. Any help in this matter would be very much appreciated as I am considering upgrading another 6 machines to these boards/processors. Regards, Jeffrey
