SYNOPSIS:     Install reports incorrect disk geometry with supported hardware

OS RELEASE:   2.1

PRODUCT:      Solaris x86

KEYWORDS:     Install disk geometry hardware partition Intel Cyrix AMD


DESCRIPTION:

Despite the use of supported hardware, the installation can not get past
the creation of a useful Solaris partition on the disk.  One known
reason for this is due to the use of a central-processing unit other
than Intel.  The Cyrix and the AMD processors will not work. 


SOLUTION:

Swap out the processor for an Intel processor.
