uname -m returned i386 - because I replaced uname with a script that
returns i386 instead of the usual x86_64 (in order to make the Linux
kernel configure and make machinery compile for i386 (diskless
clients) instead of x86_64).  Versions 2.3.5-13 as well as 2.3.6-2
work with the original uname.  Sorry.
