I have a AMD duron processor which is recognize as an atlhon (I think the problem comes from here). At the very begining of boot i get a kernel panic after the following message : Disabling CPUID serial number ... general protection fault 0000 CPU 0 then comes the register and stack status and Kernel panic : attempted to kill the idle task in swapper task not syncing Well is there a solution ? or any new distrib that might solve the problem ? If you need more information like exact stack and register status, don't hesitate to contact me. Daniel CALLERAND dcallerand or daniel.calerand

I have exactly the same problem, booting either from floppy or HDD. Machine config: - Athlon 800 SocketA (Thunderbird) on an Asus A7V motherboard. - Duron 600 SocketA on a Gigabyte GA-7ZM motherboard. Both these machines use the VIA KT-133 chipset If I bring the boot disk in to work, it boots perfectly on an older Athlon 750 (Slot config) as well as the other intel systems we have here.

Erm, uh... I need to re-assign this to a Red Hat employee.
