Later AMD processors set the bit flag claiming to have a processor serial number but use it for other things. The linux kernel RH ship doesnt know about that so thinks that AMD like transmeta and intel it should disable it and that blows up.
Boot off the install setup with your root set to be the place youinstalled then install the errata kernel.
