Greetings

I've just compiled the new kernel (gentoo-sources) and I have commed across a 
little issue. When I specify that my procesor is a Amd K7, the vfat module 
compiles good but it wont get loaded. 

Issuing a "insmod vfat", reports something like "sys_ctl_mmx not defined". I'm 
not much of a developer but I'd say that the vfat module needs some pentium 
mmx instructions.

Once I change the option "Proccesor type" back to Pentium III the problem 
fades away.

Just something to keep in mind and maybe to put in the documentation.

Regards
Mario
