Description of problem: Kernel panics when trying to install. Disc images match MD5SUM, but it fails even when booting "linux mediacheck". Some text output: ... running /sbin/loader Unable to handle kernel paging request<1> at 000000008010ddbe RIP [<000000008010ddbe>]PML4 1ecb9067 PGD 0 Oops: 0010 ... Code: Bad RIP value.

In idle task - not syncing Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time! Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot to install CD (yarrow-test1-x86_64-disc1.iso) 2. Select any option Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Hardware is Gigabyte GA-K8VT800M, AMD Athlon64 3000+, 512MB DDR400
I just finished some more testing and I got a couple of useful bits of info: I tried to install many other x86_64 OSes, and all kernel paniced. These were: Red Hat ES 3.0 beta 3 Rocks 3.1.0 (based on a RHES 3.0 recompile) SuSE Linux ES 8.0 Mandrake Linux 9.2rc1 BUT!!! I finally was able to get FC1 to work by disabling the "Enable USB Keyboard" and "Enable USB Mouse" in the BIOS (version F4). I got the kernel panic with either of these options turned on. This looks like there may be a bug in the USB code in the install kernel.
this still a problem with fc2/fc3?
