I had the same problem on my Duron system and it was because I did not
choose the correct CPU option when doing the make menuconfig. Once I set
it to the correct CPU it worked fine. I also had problems with the
Gentoo sources on a K6-2 and I ended up using the vanilla sources on it
to get it working.
