Looks like bad hardware, specifically the CPU. Something in the higher oreder bits of the registers (?), since i386 kernel works. It is look like a good idea. I try to found some AMD Athlon 64 CPU test tools on AMD site, but I have not find any. Have you know some CPU test tool for this CPU. I try, for now, memtest86+ 1.1 (prebuild fd image from www.memetest.org) and system passed all tests. (RAM and cache are OK) I try install Windows XP (32-bit) and they also work fine. memtest may not always trigger the fault. Try XP 64-bit beta or FreeBSD amd64. It's not a hardware problem. I get the same error when trying to install Fedora 64. Windows XP 64 Beta installs with no problems. I have run the AMD CPU test software (amdcpuid.exe and cpuinfo.exe) and it finds no errors with my AMD 64 3200+ CPU. I think there is a bug somewhere in the installer. I have now installed Windows XP 64 Beta and Mandrake 10.0 AMD64 Beta successfully. The issue with Fedora Core x86_64 on an MAD64 system is not a hardware issue - it is a software issue, a bug in the installer. danged typos... an AMD64 system not a MAD64 system I have changed the CPU and all is OK. This was CPU bug. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: When I try to install Fedora Core 1 x86_64 system hangs with kernel panic about to killing idle task. Fedora Core 1 i386 work on the same machine without problems. Hangs arise at any time of installation process but before any dialog (except media check dialog). I try noapic, apic, mem=xxx boot params, text, graphic and expert installation mode. Result was the same everytime.
