I'm trying to run SL 4.2 on a x486 machine. I've recompiled the kernel and I get the system to boot.
However, when I try to run rpm, I get al illegal instruction error.

When rpm was built, was it compiled as a i386 or as something else? The rpm is a i386.rpm.

My hardware platform is a 486 (actually an AMD Elan SC520) and I can't change it. And I need
the 'latest' kernel and Linux features.

Does anyone know of any software that can analyze a program and determine the instruction set? (386/486/686 etc)
