Bug Description
Binary package hint: kernel-
Hello
The version of Ubuntu 6.10 from 31 of August of 2006 cannot load on
VIA C3 "Samuel Centaurhauls" 686 procesor.
The kernel used is 2.6.17-6-686 from Aug 11, 2006 (I think is the same one in Knot 2).
At load with any option is restarted at starting kernel after load initrd image.
Ubuntu 6.06LTS is working fine.
I think that in this CD the kernel was compiled only for AMD y Intel processors, not for all i686.

Yeah, this is an odd one. I have an EPIA-M 10000 that exhibits the same problem. The kernel on knot-3 is compiled for generic 586 cpu, and as such, should work on this processor.
I'm still working on a solution. If you would still like to install edgy, I know that the Alternate install CD (which uses the -386 kernel) actually works. This one is targetted at 486 generic.
