Wrong answer. How do you intend to install Linux when a distro boot kernel is compiled for lowest-common-denominator (386), and is the 'wrong' kernel for an Athlon ?
We hashed this argument out a week or so ago, it seems the message didn't get across. YOU CAN NOT DISABLE ERRATA WORKAROUNDS IN A KERNEL THAT MAY POSSIBLY BOOT ON HARDWARE THAT WORKAROUND IS FOR.
