Any chance to use serial console ?

Enable CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK and add

earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200,keep

to the kernel command line.

Can you please provide your .config file ?

I doubt he's getting far enough that he's actually getting early printk. I could be wrong, of course.

I tested on my i386 box and Linus latest git boots fine:
# uname -a
Linux museum386 2.6.24-rc1-2a397e82 #1 PREEMPT Mon Oct 29 13:39:29 CET 2007 i386 unknown
# cat /proc/cpuinfo
clflush size    : 32

Hm.  This probably shouldn't be displayed when clflush isn't available...
