This may be going out on a limb, but just how old is your server? In
particular, what kind of processor does it have? Maverick is the first
*ubuntu to require a P6-class processor; P5-class machines such as the
Pentium MMX, AMD K6 series, Cyrix MII, etc. need not apply.

What is the output of /proc/cpuinfo?
