The truth is, the Pentium M has its roots in the PIII family. Intel has hit a roadblock with the P4 line, namely heat. You can't put a 135 watt processor into a laptop. So somebody noticed that the PIII line ran like crazy with a big cache (I've seen tests on Tom's Hardware Guide that showed a 2GHz Pentium M approaching the performance level of the 3.2GHz P4 Extreme Edition) at a very low power draw.
The software you're trying to install may predate the Pentium M -- unless they have patches available, you may be out of luck.
