You should compile the kernel to run as a Pentium Pro.

Two choices...if you like changing Makefiles you can uncomment the line in
the Makefile that reads SMP = 1 to turn on SMP. You can also pass the flag
to all of your make commands (I'm not sure which ones rely on it, so pass it
to everything to be careful.
So, try something like this...
make SMP=1 dep && make SMP=1 clean && make $* SMP=1 bzImage && \
make $* SMP=1 modules
if [ -x /sbin/installkernel ]; then
/sbin/installkernel 2.0.33 arch/i386/boot/bzImage System.map
else
make $* SMP=1 bzlilo
fi
make $* SMP=1 modules_install
...again, your probably better off just uncommenting the line in the Makefile.
