I'm afraid I don't know what a "stepping" is.

I agree. Why isn't it?

I rather doubt that.

I booted my 2.0.33 kernel, and here's the cpuinfo that resulted:

processor : 0
cpu family : 6
model : M2 2.5x Core/Bus Clock
vendor_id : CyrixInstead
stepping : 0 rev 3
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
sep_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu de tsc msr cx8 cmov mmx
bogomips : 149.91

Anyone have some idea what's going on? I wish I did. :(
