OK. On this 10.3 64bit machine I tried using that Rescue Sys. but it asked

The login is simply "root" without a password

I'll be happy to make a bugzilla report when I figure out what to report.
Right now I don't know what's right and what's wrong. Is that strange that
I can see the info using the cli and not when using the gui?

No, it's not so strange. The /proc file system is a bit special, the "files"
in there aren't real files, they are generated dynamically on the fly when
they are read. Maybe konqueror does something wrong there, I don't know.

(My goal here is to install 11.1 x86_64 on the 64bit machine.)

For this, you should open a bug reporting that the installer (really the
kernel) mis-detects your CPU and refuses to boot, and include the output of
"cat /proc/cpuinfo".

The installer actually detects your CPU correctly, that is why it's trying to
boot the 64 bit kernel in the first place. The bug here is in the kernel
itself
