I can vouch for this advice, trying to network boot an i686 Fedora kernel on 
an EPIA M9000 (933MHz Via C3) crashed on kernel decompression, the i586 
version worked immediately.

I hope to publish some details on a Fedora Kernel / RPM / NBD-based network 
boot distro in the next few weeks, this avoids completely having to use NFS, 
instead you allocate a file on your server to contain the whole ext3 
filesystem of the client machine and that's the end of it.
