Public bug reported:
>From a machine which such family of processors we have
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 21
model : 1
model name : AMD Opteron(TM) Processor 6212
however in kernel/i386.sh (base-installer sources) you have
case "$VENDOR" in
" AuthenticAMD"*)
case "$FAMILY" in
" 15"|" 16"|" 17") # k8
echo 686$BIGMEM
;;
" 6") # k7
case "$MODEL" in
" 0"|" 1"|" 2"|" 3"|" 4"|" 5")
# May not have SSE support
echo 586 ;;
*) echo 686$BIGMEM ;;
esac
;;
" 5") # k6
echo 586
;;
*) echo 486 ;;
esac
;;
so the system is detected as 486 and an old kernel is installed. In our
case (XenServer user) this cause the installation to fail.
I think it would be better to check if FAMILY is greater than 15 then is
686$BIGMEM.
