   The CPUID instruction on all k6 processors returns an "instruction
 family" value which tells us it is a 586 class processor. This is documented
 in the AMD Processor Recognition Application Note:
 	http://www.amd.com/products/cpg/athlon/techdocs/pdf/20734.pdf
 
   Add the following line to your kernel config file and your problems will
 likely go away:
 
 cpu		"I586_CPU"
