compiling kernel 2.4.4 on mandrake 8.
Just checked - no mention of Celeron II in there-
   Pentium Pro/Pentium II/Celeron
is the only line mentioning the celeron; maybe the PIII line could be changed 
to something like "Pentium III/Celeron II"?
I would supply a patch, but I don't know how to write such a thing :)
