Fwd: RHEL AS 4.6 installation fails on a 32 bit AMD

[Phani Babu Giddi]

Hello All,

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
4.6and 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 ?

Regards,
Phani
