Call for testing: 32-bit AMD CPU owners

Hi, folks! We've found an issue in Fedora 23 Beta testing which seems to affect AMD CPUs when booting the 32-bit images: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1263762 unfortunately, so far all those who've tested have only had 64-bit CPUs. So we know there's a problem booting the 32-bit images on some 64-bit AMD CPUs, but we don't know yet if there's a problem booting the 32-bit images on 32-bit AMD CPUs, which is obviously the main reason we still keep the 32-bit images around (people with 64-bit CPUs can just use the 64-bit images). If anyone reading this has an old 32-bit AMD system - the last range of 32-bit AMD CPUs was the Athlon XPs from early 2003, anything 'Athlon 64' or later is 64-bit - and it's not too much trouble, could you please grab a 23 Beta RC1 32-bit image and try booting it? Here's how you can do it, assuming you want to write to a USB stick '/dev/sdc' (adjust for your USB stick's device node): wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/23_Alpha_RC1/Server/x86 _64/iso/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-23_Alpha.iso su dd if=Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-23_Alpha.iso of=/dev/sdc then plug the USB stick into the test system and try booting it. If you reach the installer, the test passed, no need to do anything else. If you hit a kernel panic (perhaps after a wait of a couple of minutes) which looks something like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1074083 , the test failed, please let us know that it failed, and tell us exactly what CPU model you have.
