The C3 processor will work perfectly fine on a kernel that is Pentium 
Pro (i586) or lower.  If you try to boot it on a system that has Pentium 
4 or Athlon optimizations, it won't work.  I will work with i586.  I 
have several of these chips and have never had an issue with i586 
optimized Linux distributions.  You do not need a special C3 kernel. 
The benefits are not worth the trouble.  There is something else going 
on that is causing your problems.
