This happens to me on a celeron Mendocino (333 MHz) with _2.4.19-pre3_. GCC 
is 2.96-98 (From RH 7.2). Appending "nomce" as a boot option works around 
this, of course. The "flags" section of /proc/cpuinfo does have the "mce" 
field.

Please CC me, as I'm not on the list any more; My ISP seems to be filtering 
out everything (even majordomo) from vger.kernel.org after the attack of 
W32.myparty :(

Something in this part broke my Mobile Pentium II (Deschutes).
2.2.21pre3 boots fine, but 2.2.21pre4 hangs immediately after the
"Intel machine check architecture supported." line. gcc is 2.95.3.
2.4 and 2.5 kernels compiled with 2.95.3 also boot ok.
