Rumour - Lion not to support CD and C2D cpus
Lion to require Core 2 Duo or later? | MacNN
In this developer seed of Lion these intel machines are not supported.
I'm sure it's just for this developer seed. But not supporting this many C2D Macs would be potential suicide for the company.

In all, 17 Intel Mac models are not currently supported, though this number may drop to 14 if the late 2006 Core 2 Duo iMacs are supported later.
Models include the 1.83GHz and 2.0GHz 17- and 20-inch iMacs; the original 13-inch MacBooks (both black and white models, 1.83 and 2.0 GHz clock speeds); the 1.67, 1.83, 2.0 and 2.16GHz 15-inch MacBook Pros; the 2.16GHz 17-inch MacBook Pro, and the 1.66 and 1.83 GHz Core Duo Mac minis.
