Description
Due to an error in the processor identification code for Intel processors,
any Intel CPU not in family 15 will not be identified as i686 compatible.

This is significant, as Intel Core Duo and Core 2 Duo processors are identified
as being in processor family 6 like PII and PIII CPUs rather than the P4 family
of 15.
