Cyrix M II 3x compatibility

[Brian Wright <bdw aturna com>]

Hi, all..

I recently experienced problems with Linux running on a Cyrix MII 3x.  I
had a lot of kernel oopses occur, and then I discovered that I had
compiled the kernel as a PII.  I recompiled it as a 386, though I'm
still getting kernel oopses on it.

At this point, I'm considering yanking out the Cyrix and dropping in a
genuine Intel P-233 unless any workarounds exist.  Are there any? 
Here's the info from /proc/cpuinfo:
