Lucky you, you have a Via chip w/o CMOV. Fedora still ships a non-CMOV
kernel.i586 as its default installer kernel on 32-bit x86, so Fedora
and by extension, MythDora, should work.

(Note that as of Fedora 12, we're actually finally dumping the
CMOV-less kernel, and compiling everything 32-bit as full-fledged i686
with CMOV, optimized for Atom...)
