i686 CPU

[AmpRebel]

I downloaded Ubuntu onto a CD and then put it into my desktop to install it and it gives me this error:

"This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU.
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU."

Is there any way to make this work?

Other than downloading the correct ISO image? No. x86-64 CPU's can run the older 32 bit code for i686, but not the other way around...

Okay well I have a stupid question then. Where is the correct download? :confused:

Download the 32 bit version. When you go to the download page look for "Custom Options" and underneath it there is a button "32bit version: This works with most computers" This is the version of ubuntu that you need. Have Fun :)
