Subject: [X86] Fix up silly i1586 boot message.
Date: Wed, 28 May 2008 12:57:13 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080528165713.GA412@redhat.com> (raw)
Trying to boot a 64-bit kernel on a 32bit Pentium 4 gets
you an amusing message along the lines of.
"you need an x86-64, but you only have an i1586"
due to the P4 being family F. Munge it to be 686.
