I have two VDR boxes, one with VIA C3 and other with AMD K7. What would be the CPU-type to use to compile the kernel so that the same bzImage would run on both boxes. I know that type 486 will run but how about Pentium-Classic, Pentium-MMX, Pentium-Pro, Pention-II or Pentium-III

lists compile flags for C3 cpu's. Based on that its basically i586 with 3DNow and MMX. K7 should work with these settings too. Alternatively, the C3's seem to run good on k6-2 code, which is probably just the same as i586+mmx+3dnow.
Cheers,

C3 Nehemiah on EPIA M10k and up are better described as plain PIII (ie. with SSE) That's not the case of older mobos or lower clock speeds (C2 Ezra or C3 Ezra-T), and Eden processors.
