Some Linux versions can't handle Pentium 4

[bonkers325]

Chalk up to the list of Pentium 4 pitfalls the fact that not all versions of the Linux operating system support the new Intel processor.

A number of the prepackaged versions of the open-source operating system, including Caldera Systems' eServer desktop and server products, won't run on Pentium 4-based computers because the software cannot identify the chip, Intel executives acknowledged.

Give them time.

This is not a bug at all. They simply changed the numbering system for the CPUID....Instead of the expected Family 7, they gave it Family 15.

Intel's mistake was to not really tell anyone about it.
