On fedora the default install kernel is i586 (as it was on centos-4.0, 4.1, 4.2) ... but in RHEL it is i686 ... so we centos changed to offer both, and made i686 the default to better mirror what RHEL does. This solves an issue with dd= drivers that are built for RHEL so they will work better on CentOS. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
