I have a P1-166 print server, but it hasn't been able to boot any kernel 
since 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4 without freezing up during or shortly after boot.

So

(1) Yes, I'm interested in i586 FC6 (though I'm starting to feel resigned 
to the idea that I'm going to have to scrounge a slightly more capable 
machine someplace) and

(2) Anyone else having problems with kernel 2.6.16 RPMs and i586?  Any 
ideas what to look for?
