From: FedoraProject<\/a><\/p>\n

Anaconda installing the wrong architecture kernel in some systems. cpuspeed is not working for the same reason. This does not affect out of box functionality much but if you are compiling third party kernel drivers you might run into this on x86 architecture. x86_64 and PPC systems are not affected. https:\/\/bugzilla.redhat.com\/bugzilla\/show_bug.cgi?id=211941<\/a>. You can bypass this bug in a new installation by specifying “linux i686” in the installation boot prompt.<\/p>\n

An updates.img is available for this issue http:\/\/people.redhat.com\/pnasrat\/211941-updates.img<\/a>. Please follow the instructions here: Anaconda\/Updates. To check which kernel package architectures are currently installed:<\/p>\n

 rpm -qa 'kernel*' --queryformat \"%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\\n\"|sort \r\n<\/pre>\n
or<\/p>\n
yum list | grep kernel\r\n<\/pre>\n
If the installed kernel architecture is i586, but your machine is  i686 capable (Pentium II or K6II or higher), use the following simple  workaround:<\/p>\n
1.Install yumdownloader. yumdownloader is part of yum-utils in Fedora Extras. You can also manually download the kernel.<\/p>\n
su -c \"yum install yum-utils\" \r\n<\/pre>\n
2.Get the current i686 kernel:<\/p>\n
yumdownloader kernel.i686 \r\n<\/pre>\n
3.If the version of the kernel downloaded is larger than currently installed:<\/p>\n
su -c \"rpm -ivh kernel-2*.i686.rpm\" \r\n<\/pre>\n
Alternatively, if the version of the kernel downloaded is the same as that currently installed:<\/p>\n
su -c \"rpm -ivh --replacefiles --replacepkgs kernel-2*.i686.rpm\" \r\n<\/pre>\n
4.Restart the machine.<\/p>\n
 reboot\r\n<\/pre>\n
Alternatively, you can run Kernel Fix Script to install the latest i686 kernel instead of i586 kernel.<\/p>\n
