Only 386 compiled kernels work :(

[Space-Cadet]

When I compile my kernel, I always get error messages, and kernel panic on bootup... unless its a 386 kernel. I don't know why, I have an Athlon 1.4 so athlon should work... but it doesn't. I don't know what to do :\. The 386 kernel makes my MP3's skip whenever there's a lot of CPU work being done, and just plain sucks.

Also, when I compile for athlon it says march=i686 anyway, and when I hacked the makefile to force march=athlon, it just refused to compile.

Can anyone help? :)

what error messages do you get?

I don't have the exact lines on hand, but its something to the degree of "incorrect lcall without *" or something. That's near the end of the "make bzImage" process.
