Can you send a copy of /proc/cpuinfo from this machine?

No, we can just retitle this.

If you do that, you won't get any kernel security updates after May 2014
(or at all if you already removed squeeze security from your APT

Using linux-image-486 would be a better workaround (assuming this
machine has a single-core processor).
