I have a cyrix cpu:

CPU: Cyrix 486DX2 (486-class CPU)
  Origin = "CyrixInstead"  DIR=0x341b  Stepping=3  Revision=4

I have had a lot of problems with my system hanging and have
found that if I turn the internal cache off it will stay up.
The external cache can be on.  I have been expermenting with
the various CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS options found in the LINT
config file.  I have not found anywhere else that gives
any info about them.  Is there documentaion for them?
Does anyone have any suggestions for my cyrix cache problem?

Thanks,
Tom Proett
