   I then removed the option CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS form my kernel, so that the
   Cyrix cache now works in a hold flush mode, and build the large GENERIC I was
   trying. No problems after that. worked like a dream.

That doesn't surprise me at all.  There's a good reason that option is
not documented anywhere.
