Though a 486 with 128K cache is also unlikely. (Although some of the wierd overdrives had such added fun iirc)

Which older kernel detected this ?
This is really bizarre, as there are cpuid capable 486s with the family/vendor IDs reported above. I do hope we don't have to add more cachesize checking. That part of setup.c is ugly enough already.
Can you open up and find out if it really is a Celeron in that box before such code gets added ?
