As everyone should know, CentOS is providing i586 support but i586
support is not provided upstream for EL4.  When issues like this come
up, CentOS has to find, fix and test the problems ourselves.

The 2 chipsets in question are not applicable to i586 machines, and the
chipsets that the are applicable for are i686 machines.  I am turning
off EDAC for these modules for the i586 arch.

I am rebuilding a new i586 kernel now, I'll send you an e-mail to test
it as soon as it is finished.

The i586 kernel you have should boot and work with those errors, as
those modules should not try to be loaded on a real i586 machine ... but
as soon as I have a replacement test kernel, I'll let you know.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
