Hello,
Anybody know the reason RedHat decided not to support the
VIA Eden Processor?
Possibly ... Does that processor have PAE? The non-PAE kernel was
dropped, the current 'normal' kernel requires a PAE-capable processor.

My understanding is that this CPU is not even completely i686 compatible
... does CentOS-5 even work with that?
I thought that VIA Eden required i586 kernel and i386 or i586 glibc ...
(this may be a newer version than the one I tested 4-5 years ago)
It has been running 5.x just fine. It also runs the ayplus kernel fine too:
