<DIV>Probably earlier answers were right. You downloaded
yarrow-x86_64-SRPMS-disc1 (disc2 disc3) iso's. This distribution is for AMD64
processors (like Opteron, AMD64 Athlon and FX). They use long mode, when it
works with 64-bit instructions, protected mode when this 32-bit instructions and
real mode when with 16-bit instructions. So you need to download <!--StartFragment --> <!--StartFragment -->
yarrow-SRPMS-disc1.iso, <!--StartFragment --> yarrow-SRPMS-disc2.iso,
yarrow-SRPMS-disc3.iso from i386 link (not x86_64). Pentium III is
only 32-bit processor, so it can't work in long mode. </DIV>
