Even more fun: the EPIA-M 10000 may have either the Ezra core (same one used in the older M series - uses 3DNOW, etc) or the newer Nehemiah core (uses SSE, also has full speed FPU, which makes a big difference for things like MPEG decoding...)
I noticed at least the Nehemiah core does not work with the default SuSE kernels. It lacks the cmpxchg opcode (which should be there since 486 iirc). A kernel specially compiled for C3-2 worked fine.
