Simply select the first option displayed and this should be solved.

I don't think this is a unsolveable problem for someone who managed to
install linux.

The i586 architecture don't guaranty there's mmx available, i686 do,
this makes a recognizeable speed difference. If you think, your
computer is fast enought, this doesn't matter, it's great for you. But
if you ever have tried to watch HD-Videos (1080p) on a PentiumM 1,6
GHz, you will see the difference between (nearly) smoth playback and
stottering video.
