Me too.

Pentium II mobile module in Motorola CPV5350, 2.4.19-pre3 kernel.
Hangs after boot message "Intel machine check architecture supported".
Turning off CONFIG-X86_MCE did not help in my case, but I didn't do a make
mrproper before recompiling the kernel ... so I suppose I don't really know
that for sure yet.
