Description Richard Schaal 2004-03-14 16:31:35 UTC

Description of problem:
Downloaded ISO image, verified MD5SUM, burned CD and verified CD on a
P4 system.  VIA C3 fails to run kernel and system reboots. 

Last messages are:

loading vmlinuz......
loading initrd.img.............

Screen blanks, system beeps and reboots and BIOS screen pops up.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Insert FC2 test1 disk1
2.Attempt to boot CDROM
3.
    

Actual Results:  Last messages are:

loading vmlinuz......
loading initrd.img.............

Screen blanks, system beeps and reboots and BIOS screen pops up.

Expected Results:  System should have booted...

Additional info:

I suspect that the kernel for installation was not compiled for i386 -
rather maybe a i686 ??  This will fail to boot in this manner.  Note
that I didn't have any trouble booting or verifying the media on a P4.

The VIA C3 system successfully boots RH9, Demolinux, Devil Linux,
Knoppix and Suse 9.0 Live Eval. >>> it isn't a hardware failure.

Comment 1 Richard Schaal 2004-03-14 17:19:45 UTC
I see now in examining the CD, that the README has a comment regarding
how the kernel was built.  I'll try the FC1 and try to upgrade it
while waiting for the next set of images.

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2004-03-15 16:46:07 UTC
Yes, it was a known issue with test1.

Comment 3 Hank Magnuski 2004-05-26 07:18:47 UTC
I'm having exactly this same problem with FC2 (stable public release)

Comment 4 Earl Terwilliger 2004-05-26 20:26:39 UTC
I too am having this problem with FC2 (final version)
is there a fix?
