Probably of no help at all to your problem, but I got an almost identical 
error (I remember the "Cool computer" part) while installing Mandriva 2006 
on the last one I built. Board was 64-bit compatible with a 32-bit AMD 
Sempron. (Even cheepskates future proof:) 

Had the option to continue the installation so I did and it runs fine.
