Strange,
	I had just tried with a Soekris not long ago and it was happy with
Beta1 and 2.... csuping... updating... and it still works.  dmesg.txt at
http://www.tancsa.com/beta2.html

What if you add

option          CPU_GEODE
option          CPU_SOEKRIS

to the kernel ? I think actually only one is needed, but I forget which one.
