Kind of funny, but I have the boxed set of 11.1 where the DVD contains
both x86 and x86_64. And it defaulted to x86_64 which I overlooked
(it's in the corner of the grub menu :/) and ended up doing a complete
x86_64 install on my pentium 4! Funnily enough everything really
worked, other than graphics (and the installer graphics was fine).
Took me a looong time to figure out what was wrong with my computer.

I guess the detection aint so hot :D

Strange indeed,

I wonder if it is keying off the clflush size :64, that would be bad
because I
also have a pentium that reports the same. The older AMD I posted reports
clflush size :32. Surely, that isn't what is being used to make the
determination??
