I think what's going on is this: It's far from unheard of for VIA to use a slightly different processor on the same model mainboard without marking the mainboard any differently. To make things more complicated, a C3 processor can have any of a variety of different cores, including the Samual 2 (C5B), Ezra (C5C), Ezra-T (C5N), and Nehemiah (both the C5XL and the C5P are marketed as Nehemiah cores). The Nehemiah cores implement CMOV, while the Samuel 2, Ezra, and Ezra-T cores do not. I'm betting you actually have a Nehemiah core. What does /proc/cpuinfo contain for you? Perhaps there was a software change, too, but I was just dealing with someone yesterday that was unable to boot his Ubuntu Server Edition system on a C3.
