Hmm, I've got a K6-200 running FC5 at home... that has an i586 kernel too.

I'm afraid I don't know why this kernel module is not included in the 
i586 kernels but it is in the i686 versions.

If there's a good reason for it not being included then you have 
problems. Perhaps someone more au fait with the kernel knows.

If it's accidental that it's not included, then you should be able to 
request in bugzilla that it gets included in future i586 kernel 
releases, and you could try compiling the module "out of tree". Do you 
have the kernel 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 SRPM or any other source for that module?

Paul.
