  | [ At boot, Linux on a Cyrix MediaGC 6x86 CPU errors: ]
  |     Kernel panic: Kernel compiled for Pentium+, requires TSC feature!
  | What's the TSC feature?   [ ... ]

 when in doubt, google:  ``cyrix tsc''  finds good hits.

 TSC is the TimeStampCounter, i.e. the number of cycles
 since some point in the past (presumably reset).

 see    http://www.deinmeister.de/e_cy6x86cr.htm

 or other sites for further info, including some "fixes".

cheers!
