for
some of the Cyrix bugs,  at least for the 686 variety. Some "special"
features
can be turned on using a patch found at 
http://www.tux.org/~balsa/linux/cyrix/
I looked at this when I was thinking about upgrading my system last,  but I
didn't get a Cyrix because I decided I wanted SMP.
The MediaGX from Cyrix is not supported by RedHat,  but I don't know what
the
specific grievences are.

On another note the 2.0.36 kernel correctly picks up all 256Mb of RAM in my
system with an append line in the LILO conf file.  2.0.35 only got the
"standard 64Mb" reported by the lame old BIOS.

Thanks for the info. I've installed RH 5.2 and it seem to work just fine. I
think I'll check out the patch you mentioned anyway...
