I tried install 4.4 on an old Via 800mhz box. i386 of course. The installer dies pretty quick. I thought the via was i386 compatible? Is there something special to do.

Install with the i586 kernel. gcc presumes that all i686 class processors do cmov. The Via C3 is a i686 class processor, it doesn't implement the "optional" cmov instruction.
