 Note

       Due to a mistake made at build-time, the ISO images for Fedora Core
       1.90 Test 1 include support for i686-class processors only, meaning
       that it will not be possible to boot Anaconda on systems with Intel
       Pentium, older AMD, or VIA processors.

       Note that this problem affects the bootability of the ISO images only;
       it is possible to upgrade non-i686 systems by configuring yum or
       up2date to pull packages from rawhide.
