updates.img for the bug 212048 also used. But it didnot solved the problem at all

Comment 4 Muralidhar N 2007-02-01 22:26:50 UTC
Same DVD works with same RAM, but the CPU is 1.8 GHZ.

Comment 5 Ken Smith 2007-04-20 18:28:56 UTC
Same bug here on an AMD K6 500Mhz, 13G Seagate disk, 512 Mb ram, Ati Video.

The installer reaches the package selection and dumps.

Installation started via Hard Disk install and via HTTP from local server.

Same sources use to install Intel P4 2G & Thinkpad Celeron 1.2 systems without
issues.

Is this related to the AMD K6?

Hi,
The issue was solved in Fedora Core 7 and was introduced again Fedora 8. Fedora
8 core dumps randomly and wont install at all giving cpu register errors. The
cpu is not recongnised by the kernel itself and this has been acknowledged by
fedoraunity.org. Please check and update...

Regards,
Muralidhar N

Comment 9 Chris Lumens 2008-08-27 17:49:00 UTC
Whatever error you are currently seeing is entirely unrelated to the initial report.  Your new error sounds like some sort of kernel oops.  Please open a new bug against the kernel component with that information.  Thanks.
