Indeed I can boot to an i686 kernel that I've compiled on this machine... In
fact that's the kernel I'm running as I type this. I can boot to any kernel I
have installed on this machine except the ones I've compiled specifically for
K7's.
I have downloaded stock, vanilla sources from kernel.org and will try to
compile an Athlon kernel again this weekend.
Thanks for everyones help and suggestions so far!
