Which processor type should I choose during kernel compilation?

[Jeff Mutonho]

Here's my processor info :
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
cpu family      : 6
model           : 6
model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+
stepping        : 2


I downloaded the vanilla kernel  linux-2.6.20.3.tar.gz  and went onto
to install this.During make xconfig , I unchecked the symmetric
mutli-processing support , and under Processor Family I selected the
Athlon/Duron/K7 option.

However after  creating the kernel rpm and trying to boot it , I got a
Kernel Panic , with some error message saying
"microcode : cpu0 not a capable Intel Processor....
.....
mount : could not find filesystem 'dev/root/
setup root : moving /dev failed :no such file"
