From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: OS is Fedora Core 2. Platform is 2.4 GHz Pentium IV running on an Asus P4PE motherboard with 512 MB RAM, nVidia geForce 5600-256MB AGP video, Creative Audigy sound. On booting Fedora Core 2, boot continues normally until immediately after entering interactive startup and mounting root read-write. System becomes nonresponsive and about 2 minutes later produces this error: <0>Kernel Panic: Fatal exception in interrupt In interrupt handler - not syncing This system ran Fedora Core 1 with no difficulties. Have also tried Mandrake 10 (community release), it also freezes with same error. Thank you. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Fedora Core 2 on P4PE motherboard, 512 MB RAM, P4-2.4 CPU. 2.Install goes normally but kernel panics when booting into Fedora. 3. Actual Results: Immediately after mounting root read-write, system freezes, then produces error: <0> Kernel Panic: Fatal exception in interrupt In interrupt handler - not syncing Expected Results: System should boot into Linux normally. This exact system ran Fedora Core 1 with no difficulty. Additional info: Mandrake 10 community release exhibits same behavior.

did fc3 fare any better ?
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
