Unfortunately, you may have to. I don't think your cpus are supported
by a 686 optimized kernel, and there's no 386-smp flavor.
You can try and see if either 2.4.27-2-386 or 2.6.8-2-386 works for you
as a first step. If those don't work, then its unlikely the
smp-counterpart would work. Better to know that in advance before going
through the rebuild effort.
