yeah it should work. The fedora kernel has drivers for all the relevant

kt8neo fisr and it was flawless on first boot.
Didn't it have an CPU-specific kernel?
Athlon/Athlon 64s will run a 686 kernel. Not as fast as an Athlon-
specific kernel, but it'll run. I don't think you can run an Athlon
kernel on a 686, though.
e.g. with an install on an athlon system, one gets an athlon kernel
which doesn't work on pentium.
Is there a way to force a 686-kernel at install time?
Not that I know of. I think anaconda installs the appropriate kernel
for the processor it sees.
