Despite having used their menu to check for updates and being told there were none, there were. Latest Workstation fixed this issue. |
Created attachment 325113 [details] Screenshot of boot screen Description of problem: I've been running some 64 bit virtual machines using Workstation 6 for quite some time now. With the 2 most reccent kernel updates, I'm getting kernel panics early in the boot process. The same happens if I try to install a 64 bit FC10. FC9 works fine when booting with an older kernel such as 2.6.26.6-79.fc9.x86_64 I tried booting the FC10 install on the bare metal, and it seems to boot fine. The host machine is a dual Opteron 250. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC9 Kernels 2.6.27.5-41.fc9.x86_64 2.6.27.5-37.fc9.x86_64 FC10 kernel 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: Consistently Steps to Reproduce: 1.
