i'm trying to install FC5 onto my fujitsu lifebook P1120, which is
transmeta crusoe-based. when i try to start the install, it formats the
FSes, then errors out with "package for incorrect arch". on one of the
virtual consoles, i get "package glibc-2.4.4 is intended for a i686
architecture", and similar messages about openssl and the kernel.
however, this machine is an i686.
i've found one more example of this problem, also with a fujitsu crusoe-
based system, at http://www.linuxeden.com/forum/t142471.html - but it's in
a language i *really* don't speak.
note: because it's only got a floppy drive (no CDROM nor USB flash drive
booting), i'm using the LOADLIN-based fedora floppy install from
http://www.thisiscool.com/fcfloppy.htm, but all this does is unpack the
boot iso to ramdisk from several floppies, and boot into it; i don't
believe it's the problem. i've had perfectly happy installs of FC3 and
FC4 from this sysytem, on that laptop.
can anyone shed any light on the problem, or how i might get around this?
