It's likely the mem=nopentium option.  In all fairness to Mandrake, I 
should come clean.  My procedure for installation was as follows:

Upgrade to Mandrake 9.0 on Celeron 400.
Replace mb and processor with new mb and processor.

So, I was running with a kernel that was installed by Mandrake on a 
Celeron machine.  I did add the mem=nopentium option once it actually 
booted, but I don't know what else Mandrake may have done if it had been 
installed on this system after the mb/cpu upgrade.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
