Bug Description
From a machine which such family of processors we have
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 21
model : 1
model name : AMD Opteron(TM) Processor 6212
however in kernel/i386.sh (base-installer sources) you have
case "$VENDOR" in
" AuthenticAMD"*)
;;
so the system is detected as 486 and an old kernel is installed. In our case (XenServer user) this cause the installation to fail.
I think it would be better to check if FAMILY is greater than 15 then is 686$BIGMEM.
