uname -a is a good bet:
Linux lnx-mymachine 2.4.18-27.7.xsmp #1 SMP Fri Mar 14 05:52:30 EST 2003 i686 unknown
I'm not sure the stuff about using x386 kernels instead of x686. All our Linux machines show i686 in the uname output...
I'd recommend using something more recent. For example, I use RHEL 3.0, and have no problems with IC5033 or IC5141. I do set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to quieten down some of the warnings (that's not necessary for RH7.2 though). In practice, we have at least RH7.3 on Linux machines in my office, with a few RH8.0, and most are now being built with RHEL 3.0
Regards,
Andrew.
