Hi folks -

Upgrading a VIA C3-based EPIA-M motherboard today from FC1, the FC2 Test 2 
install kernel is still not compatible with these CPUs, it dies right after 
"Uncompressing Linux".

What was equally surprising is that while the 2.4 kernel is working super on 
the board, the 2.6.5-1.322 i586 kernel is dying the same way on boot, ie, the 
kernel doesn't even get started far enough to say hello, the machine reboots.  
This is also with acpi=off.  i586-ness used to be enough to get the kernel 
working on these CPUs.

I looked through the archives and I saw a post from test 1 mentioning it 

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-February/msg00863.html

and I found Paul Coleman had bugged 2004-04-12:
