I had the same symptoms when using a kernel compiled with i686 instructions 
some months ago.  Moving down to an i586 or i386 -compiled kernel got me 
going.

I seem to recall the 2.6 kernel has athlon and i686 (at least) versions of 
code in it and can decide at runtime what to use.  Maybe the problem is that 
it wrongly things C3 is i686 (it doesn't quite make the grade).
