Hmmm... I have a computer here that freezes at this point in the boot
process with 2.2.21-pre4:
...
CPU: L2 cache: 128K
Intel machine check architecture supported.
Reversing the following change to bluesmoke.c lets this computer boot
again like it does with 2.2.21-pre3. The computer in question has a 533MHz
Intel Celeron (the Pentium II-based kind).

Same here. s/i=0/i=1/ i the for() and my PII boots again.

In 2.2.21-pre2 through -pre4, many Intel CPUs are misreported in
/proc/cpuinfo and dmesg as Mobile Pentium II's, even when they are
Celerons in desktops or whatever.
In init_intel, the correct CPU name is being assigned to p, but p isn't
being copied into c->x86_model_id. As a result, the name from the tables,
"Mobile Pentium II", is always being used.
This patch (backported from 2.4) fixes the problem. Alan, please apply.
