Problem installing fedora 9 on pentium 4
Hello there
I m trying to install Fedora on my Pc. But after it starts booting from the cd i get this error.
"This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i1586 CPU.
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU."

You have the 64 bit edition of Fedora and your CPU is only 32 bit. You need to download the 32 bit Fedora.

Looks like the 32 bit is labeled i386, choose that one.

You have 32bit processor but you are trying to install 64bit version of Fedora. Download 32bit version ( i386 ) of Fedora only. Check here.

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

I like to get in on the easy questions. I can't always help with the more technical issues like you crazy super moderators, so it makes me feel useful.Edit : reed9 beats me....
