From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.4; Linux) KHTML/3.4.92 (like Gecko) Description of problem: When I try to install FC5T1 on a SMP machine with 2*P3-1GHz, 1G RAM the kernel panics on install as shown in the JPG at the above URL. The machine in question is currently running RHEL4 without any problems on kernel version 2.6.9-5.ELsmp. So it seems that this is a regression since RHEL4. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Boot from the install CD, attempt to install and get a kernel panic before anything happens. Additional info:
Kernel 2.6.9-22.ELsmp also works on the machine in question/
It crashes in exactly the same manner with 2.6.15-1.1826.2.10_FC5 (the FC5test2 kernel).
if you boot the rhel4 kernel, is there anything sharing the same interrupt as 'rtc' in /proc/interrupts ?
Apparently not. # cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 0: 1586935 1510602 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 896 713 IO-APIC-edge i8042 2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 0 1 IO-APIC-edge rtc 14: 24148 24003 IO-APIC-edge ide0 137: 41801 36470 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx, ohci_hcd 145: 15 15 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx 153: 1804 14 IO-APIC-level eth0 NMI: 0 0 LOC: 3097632 3097701 ERR: 0 MIS: 0

Thanks
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you.
