Description Matt Phillips 2003-07-08 18:21:47 UTC 
The installer chose to install the i686 kernel on a system with a Cyrix 6x86 
processor, resulting in the message "Kernel panic: kernel compiled for PPro+, 
requires PGE feature".  Booting into rescue mode and installing the i586 
kernel fixed this.

This should be better in our development code.
