This seems to be a bug with the kernel trying to disable the CPU ID number which causes it to panic on Athlons. A way to resolve it is to type the following at the LILO prompt: LILO: linux x86_serial_nr=1 Another solution is: once the above solution gets you into the system , use linuxconf to add that parameter to lilo so that you don't have to type it in everytime. Third solution: recompile kernel. This seems to be a bug with the kernel trying to disable the CPU ID number which causes it to panic on Athlons.

Hello there!, I have been trying to install RED HAT 6.2. Installation completes and while LINUX attempts to complete a reboot-causes the process to hang with the readout below. Several users on the RED HAT DISCUSSION GROUPS have the same problem We all have an ATHLON PROCESSOR. Mine is a 750mhz screamer built by GATEWAY. Any suggestions???????? yours, Steve z -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Memory : 127788K / 130944K available (1060K kernel code, 416K reserved, 1616K data, 64K init, 0K big mem) Dentry hash table entries : 262144 (order 9, 2048K) Buffer cache hash table entries : 131072 (order 7, 512K) Page cache hash table entries : 32768 (order 5, 128K) VFS : Disk quotas version dquot_6.4.0 initialised L1 Icache 64K L1 Dcache 64K L2 Cache : 1K CPU AMD AMD Athlon(tm) Processor stepping 00 Enabling extended fast FPU save and restore....done Disabling CPUID serial number.....general protection fault : 0000 CPU : 0 EIP : 0010 [<c02340f4>] EFLAGS : 00010282 eax:00000020 ebx:07c2d454 ecx:00000119 edx:00000001 esi:00098800 edi:c0106000 ebp:000007be esp:c0233fc8 ds:0018 es:0018 ss:0018 Process swapper (pid=0, process nr:0, stackpage=c0233000) Stack : c0106000 c02344e2 c02143a0 c01d7d0b c02143a0 c0234c7b 07c2d454 07c2d454 07c2d454 c03b2bac c7fe0000 00000000 c0214460 c0100175 Call trace : [<c0106000>] [<c01d7d0b>] [<c0100175>] Code : 0f 32 0d 00 00 20 00 0f 30 68 21 78 1d c0 e8 27 fd ed ff 83 Kernel panic : attempted to kill the idle task !
