Please find thread names and maybe URL's to helpful posts that are related to this issue. That would help us to debug & fix the problem faster. Unfortunately it may be difficult for you to install without a working kernel in Anaconda's disk... For the iommu=off case you would also want to specify mem=2048M. What IDE controller is on the HDAMA > The IDE controller is the one built into the AMD8111. I hadn't realized until I started tinkering with the initrd that FC2 is installing from 2.4.22. I think there's a ton of fixes in 2.6 that were never backported to 2.4 for this platform. Maybe it would be better to install from 2.6 on x86-64? I tried replacing the initrd kernel with a 2.6.6 built elsewhere, but there's some proc thing missing and the install complains that I don't have enough memory (0KB). There seems to be a bug in your bugzilla where the QA contact gets removed automatically, and it also seems that I am not allowed to add the QA Contact back in (there's no form field). I'll add bbrock to the CC instead. Hopefully more information will help. Here's the screen of stuff that happened when I tried to install FC2: EIP is at acpi_ps_parse_aml+0xb2/0x1a4 eax: 00000000 ebx: c147cc00 ecx: c02b38c9 edx: 00000d60 esi: c147cc00 edi: c147bf44 ebp: 00000007 esp: dffd5f60 ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process swapper (pid: 1, threadinfo=dffd5000 task=dfd47630) Stack: 00000000 00000000 c147cc00 dffe0284 00000001 c01aa473 dffe0144 dffe0144 c037e634 00000000 c01aa492 dffe0144 c01a84bd dffe0144 00000000 00000000 c01a852e 00000000 00000000 00000000 c01a85e2 c01ae62d 00000001 000fc0d0 Call Trace: [<c01aa473>] acpi_ns_one_complete_parse+0x6b/0x7b [<c01aa492>] acpi_ns_parse_table+0xf/0x29 [<c01a84bd>] acpi_ns_load_table+0x6d/0x8f [<c01a852e>] acpi_ns_load_table_by_type+0x4f/0xea [<c01a85e2>] acpi_ns_load_namespace+0x19/0x34 [<c01ae62d>] acpi_load_tables+0xd9/0x139 [<c032ccc5>] acpi_bus_init+0x26/0x11b [<c032ce1c>] acpi_init+0x62/0xb4 [<c0320659>] do_initcalls+0x49/0x97 [<c010029e>] init+0x0/0xe2 [<c01002bb>] init+0x1d/0xe2 [<c01041d5>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xb Code: 82 78 10 00 75 0e 80 48 09 08 8b 83 ac 01 00 00 c6 40 1c 01 <0>Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! My hardware is a Gigabyte GA-7VRXP with DVD-ROM, CDRW-burner, 80GBhd, 512MB RAM. Mind you, this also happened on an older machine I tried it on, too. Very old, though, with AT-style KB connector. :-) ... Msquared ... I'm just re-reading the comments above mine, and it occurs to me that we may be talking about different (but possibly related) bugs. The dump I produced occurred immediately after the CD's linux kernel was decompressed. It did not wait as long as X startup before dying. This dump occurs irrespective of text or graphics install, and even if I lower the RAM to 128M (machine has 512M), and even if I use noprobe to try prevent hardware scanning. Finally, the problem I've experienced occurred both on a recent model Athlon (the Gigabyte board I mentioned), and on a rather old Pentium. In both cases, FC1 was installed with no problem. I don't know if you want to open a new bug, or whatever, but I thought you should know in case it was relevant. :-) I originally filed additional info against this bug because it seemed relevant at the time. This bug is completely different symptoms and stack. Please open a different bug on it. did FC3 fare any better on this system ? Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you. |
