    Wrong answer. How do you intend to install Linux when a distro boot
    kernel is compiled for lowest-common-denominator (386), and is the
    'wrong' kernel for an Athlon ?

    We hashed this argument out a week or so ago, it seems the message
    didn't get across. YOU CAN NOT DISABLE ERRATA WORKAROUNDS IN A KERNEL
    THAT MAY POSSIBLY BOOT ON HARDWARE THAT WORKAROUND IS FOR.

    clearer ?
