FTP install causes a kernel panic
Last modified: 2008-05-06 12:12:31 EDT
Description of problem: The ftp install causes a kernel panic when trying to grab the stage 2 image. Sorry I don't have a capture of the panic messages. Due to ncurses puking and covering up most of the output. This happened three times on my machine (AMD Athlon 1100Mhz, 1GB Ram, VIA RhineII ethernet). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use "linux askmethod" at boot or boot from boot.iso and then choose ftp install. After entering network information and repository it immediately kernel panics. Actual results: Kernel Panic Expected results: Begin download of stage2 anaconda Additional info: I tried ths three times. The first time I had unchecked IPV6 and DHCP and went with stnadard NAT information, then used the mirror.colorado.edu repo. Second attempt I changed repos but still used the same networking config. Third attempt I used a different repo as well as letting it use DHCP and left IPV6 checked.
This works for us here -- any chance you can get some of the panic trace?
Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
