Have you tried 2.1.116 or laters. There is an explicit test in the Cyrix
code for both the presence of the DIR registers, and later for a 6x86
class cpu before attempting any cpuid games (and all done in C). If this
is not working I'll be very interested I finding out why, since the test
procedures are the Cyrix Inc. recommended ones.
On last thing, you *do* have SMP=1 commented out, right? This is *very*
important.
Cheers,
