Please help - CPU error message whilst upgrading to FC6

[Adams, Tony]

Hi All,

I am a novice user and am trying to immerse myself in the Joys Of
Fedora, but have hit a roadblock.

I currently have FC5 installed on my Compaq Evo N610C laptop computer.
I want to upgrade to FC6 and am trying to install from a DVD.

When I load up the DVD and reboot the laptop, a message appears reading
"Your CPU does not support long mode.  Use a 32bit distribution."
I am unable to proceed and have to remove the DVD and reboot.

Any thoughts?  Is this a common issue?  I scanned the Fedora FAQs and
Bug logs but couldn't find any clues.

With grateful thanks,
