Description
Need Real Name

This is caused by the default kernel trying to disable serial numbers in the processor, which your AMD processor doesn't have and is resulting in a processor fault. The 2.2.16-3 and later kernel errata for Red Hat Linux 6.2 have a fix for this in place already. In order to boot your machine up, at the lilo prompt type: linux x86_serial_nr to cause the kernel to not try and disable CPU serial numbers on your AMD CPU. That way you can then upgrade your kernel, or you can add the x86_serial_nr option as an append item in your lilo.conf file so that you don't have to upgrade kernels, either way will solve the issue. |
