Greetings all-

I'm currently working with CentOS 5.x (various version 5.0 - 5.5) attempting to 
run it on a system based on the AMD Geode LX CPU. There are known issues with 
this CPU running Centos 5, specifically those listed here:

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2552

The kernel and system run fine on the Geode LX, but the installer detects the 
CPU as i586. Since there is no i586 kernel package available, the installer 
dies. I've attempted the workaround here:

http://lists.baseurl.org/pipermail/yum-devel/2009-August/005767.html

It basically tells anaconda the CPU arch is i686. I extracted the stage2.img, 
updated the specified files, then recreated the squashfs image. But, it still 
does not work. Apparently this works on Fedora...

So, does anyone have any thoughts on getting CentOS 5.x to install on a Geode 
LX?
