[ILUG] Cyrix support

I've installed the Redhat distribution (version 7.2) on a harddrive through
an Intel machine and then plugged that same harddrive into a Cyrix machine.
The errors at bootup are as follows :
        CPU: Cyrix Geode(TM) Integrated Processor by National Semi stepping
01
        Kernel panic: Kernel compiled for Pentium+, requires TSC feature!

What's the TSC feature?
I thought the kernel supports Cyrix chips, but hell! What do I know?
How do I compile the kernel to include this TSC feature?

The chip, by the way, is a Cyrix MediaGX 6x86.

Thanks a million.

Carlos
