You have "old hardware" so you have two options: (1) wait until we provide a vmware image that can work on your old hardware, (2) Rebuild from source the two spkg's that are causing the illegal instruction error. Actually, (2) is easy and will work, but just takes a little while. To do (2), do the following: (1) at the login prompt type "manage", then at the prompt type "sudo su". (2) type "sage -f mpir-1.2.p2 atlas-3.8.3.p3" Step (2) requires that you have an internet connection, and you should *expect* it to take about 1 hour (it is 100% automatic though).
