I was trying to install Redhat AS 4.6 on a 32 bit AMD proceessor and the instalation fails stating that this hardware configuration is not supported by this version of enterprise linux. I got evaluvatoin license for AS 4.6 and downloaded the DVD based iso for x86. Based on this I thought that it should work on AMD too.
Now is there a way I can find out exactly for which "hardware" the installation failed. Could it be because of RAM size ? What are the other types of checks that the instalation software makes to determine hardware compatibility. The system I am installing AS 4.6 is not a high end machine and its required for experimentation.
When I take a look at the install log in one of the virtual consoles ( Ctrl + Alt + F3) I see the following messages...
legacy-software-development refrences package compact-libstdc++-295 which doesnt exist.
compact-arch-support refrences package libehca which doesnt exist.
the similar message was shown for these packages open Cryptoki, compact-libgcc-295, compact-libstdc++-295, elilo, s390utils, ppc64-utils, kernel, kernel-smp, kernel-largesmp, kerne-hugesmp
Any idea what is going on ?
