Doing that now.

Nope, still 586:
# CONFIG_M386 is not set
# CONFIG_M486 is not set
CONFIG_M586=y
# CONFIG_M686 is not set
# CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not set
# CONFIG_MTRR is not set
CONFIG_SMP=y
Remember that I used 'noapic' in order to get it to boot. Without 'noapic'
it would spontaneously reboot and never make it past:
hdc: IBM-DTTA-371010, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
In fact, I only saw the ide0 one once out of three boots. The other two
times the hdc was the last message.
