What processor is this installation on?

Comment 2 Yuriy 2003-04-22 23:15:46 EDT

This is AMD K6 400Mz.

Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2003-05-12 17:42:01 EDT

Any ideas Jeremy?

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2003-05-12 17:47:39 EDT

Have you changed your installation tree at all?  Can you attach the complete
dump file given by anaconda when you hit this?
