I have AMD Geode hardware circa 2007 (18 years old) that only has partial support for i686. Requires a true 3/4/586 kernel.


Not sure why you are downvoted, I guess people don't believe this is true. To confirm: The AMD Geode LX was a <5W 32-bit x86 processor which did not support SSE instructions, and is therefore not fully i686 compatible. According to Wikipedia, it was produced until 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd_geode#AMD_Geode

It was used in the OLPC XO-1. The Cisco ASA line of firewalls also used Geode processors at least at some point in its lifetime.
