compiling kernel 2.4.4 on mandrake 8. Just checked - no mention of Celeron II in there- Pentium Pro/Pentium II/Celeron is the only line mentioning the celeron; maybe the PIII line could be changed to something like "Pentium III/Celeron II"? I would supply a patch, but I don't know how to write such a thing :)
