Yes I did try and during boot get the error CMOV missing. The boards
need i586 or lower and versions like puppy Linux work, I also ran with
Linux from Scratch but would like Fedora or RHEL. I am guessing that the
VmLinuz on the DVD would need to be redone and also the kernel packages
needed to be built for i586 or lower.
