I have also experienced the same issue when installing Fedora Core 3 Test 2 in VMWare (4.5.2 build 8848). This issue only seems to exist if you accept the default partitioning (LVM). I did a subsequent install using XFS (linux xfs at the boot prompt) and it appears to boot fine. The kernel used in my case is the 2.6.8-1.541smp. I have a screen shot which I have not attached as it says exactly what Mark listed in the original bug report. I will see if I can find a way to debug this when time permits. - Thanks! I cannot confirm that using 'linux xfs' at the boot prompt fixes the problem. I tried this yesterday and got the error after reboot. I should have clarified what I meant better, using linux xfs at the installer boot prompt, changing the default partitioning from LVM to XFS (other filesystems such as ext2fs or ext3fs probably work too) and then installing works. I will review my steps to make sure that is the steps I took. Yes you are correct. I realized that is what I missed after posting my other comment. It seems the problem is solely related to LVM, because I installed T2 just fine using ext3 after removing the VolGroup partition/volume in Disk Druid. I can confirm that: The problem only arises with LVM - I did two installs today with the manual "disk druid" partitioning and tried it with xfs and ext3. Both installs did not give me a kernel panic as the install with LVM did. still a problem with latest kernels ? FC3 final works fine for me. FC3 final works fine here as well, thanks! |
