I find it peculiar that no-one in this thread seemed to notice this error.

I ran into the same issue, both with 15 may and 17 may netinst isos on
amd64, on a supermicro (no nvidia hardware or anything evil involved)
dual-opteron motherboard, with a single CPU installed.

It seems to be a reincarnation of #355379. That one was closed stating 'it
should be fixed now' but with no reference as to which change supposedly
fixed it. Frans?
