Description of problem:

I was having what I though might be a GRUB problem (may still be), 
and then I read the release notes that says you must have a processor 
that supports EM64T.  Is this true?

If it is, then Anaconda should test for and report if you are trying 
to intall it on an unsupported processor.

Why is Fedora limited to such a miniscule subset of highest end 
processors???

From Intel:
Q3: Which Intel processors support Intel® EM64T and when will they be 
available?
A3: On February 17th, 2004, Intel announced the company will add 
Intel® EM64T to its IA-32 processors code named Nocona (future Intel® 
Xeon⢠processor for dual processing servers and workstations), 
Potomac (future Intel Xeon processor MP for multi-processing servers) 
and Prescott (future product for uni-processor servers and 
workstations). This was an initial technology disclosure. Intel will 
provide additional details as the introductions of these various 
products approach. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install on pentium 3
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Hangs at GRUB text screen.


Expected results:
Should boot!


Additional info:

This may in fact be a GRUB issue.  GRUB never makes it to the 
graphical screen  (it hangs after outputing "GRUB" in text mode), 
which is before the kernel is loaded.  But I don't want to waste time 
trying to get this to work on an unsupported processor.  Anaconda 
should test for and report that the existing processor is not 
supported.
