Red Hat 7.3 installed the Athlon kernel. I have never experienced any problems
using the Athlon kernels on my system.

Comment 1 Samat Jain 2002-07-14 03:09:48 UTC
Confirming. Athlon kernel was not installed for my 1.33Ghz Athlon Thunderbird,
either.

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2002-07-25 05:58:02 UTC
Should be fixed in newer trees

Comment 3 Jim Hayward 2002-08-27 09:24:11 UTC
A clean install of "null" still results in the i686 kernel being installed
instead of the athlon kernel.

Comment 4 Mike McLean 2002-08-29 19:42:19 UTC
Changes have been made since the Null beta release wrt this bug.
