fedora installation in xeon processor
Hi all,
I have a system with the following configuration
- xeon(TM)CPU 2.40GHz 2.37Ghz
- 1Gb ram
- Windows XP profess.
I installed VMware workstation to run Linux- fedora like an application in windows environment.
I get the following error when i tried to do so
"This kernal requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i1586"
"Unable ot boot - please use a kernal appropriate for you CPU"
I tried searching the iso for i1586 but I could not get.
Kindly help me with this
Thanks

The message is as-stated. You cannot run a 64 bit guest OS without a physical CPU with VT extensions. Your Xeon does not have VT, so you cannot run *any* 64 bit guest OS.
You will need to download the 32 bit version of Fedora.
