Installing old RedHat 5.1 on VMWare failure
 

I want to run some old RedHat 5.1 programs, so I tried to install RedHat 5.1 on my new Athlon X2 running VMWare. All is OK until the installer starts to install the RPMS. It fails saying the RPM is for the wrong architecture. Looking at /proc/cpuinfo, it says the cpu is an ?86. So I guess RPM does not know it is an OK processor. Does anyone know how to get an old version of RedHat to install on VMWare? Trick RPM somehow to believe it is installing on a i686? What can I try next?
