Description Jay Straw 2008-05-04 16:56:16 UTC
I downloaded the "megahuge" liveCD beta2 before I was aware of its size, so I ended up burning it to a dvd. This dvd, when booted from in my IBM T42 with 2.0 ghz Pentium M, will get me to the boot loader, but when I go to boot linux I get "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: 0:6 Unable to boot- please use a kernel appropriate for your cpu" This is the same error reported by two others on the "[NEWS] 2008.0_beta2 released" thread. I can't remember ever getting an error like this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download/burn beta2 of the 2008.0 livecd
2. Insert into Pentium M-based device
3. Once prompted by the bootloader, make your selection
4. Wala

Actual Results:  
Same as in summary, I'm afraid

Expected Results:  
I was expecting liberation from microsoft and a blowjob from Tux, instead I was told I was 0:6 and lacking features :'(

2008.0_beta2 minimal cd boots, and then boots me to a prompt, so it seems to be limited to the liveCD. I don't know what my north/south bridge chipsets are (or even if they're seperate anymore, I haven't followed these 'computers' in a few years)--coupled with the fact another in the thread said he had a celeron M, I'm confident you've got all the info you need. Maybe it was a compile flag mixup? But of course I could be wrong and I really dig gentoo, so please let me know if you need anymore info or when you think you have a fix, I can d/l the iso and give it a whirl for ya, probably lickity split.
