Hello The kernel in the FC6 test2 install CD panics during boot with this error: Unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000010100001060 RIP: [<ffffffff8023c868>] strnlcn|0x15/0x1f PGD 0 Oops: 0000 [1] SMP last sysfs file: CPU 1 Modules linked in: Pid: 1, commm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.17 1.2517.fc6 #1 You can see the rest of the error in the attatched photo. The system is a intel core 2 duo on a asus P5b motherboard with the intel 965 chipset. Tell me if I need to provide any more information.

Howdy, I have run the upgrade path from the test 2 install cd's, upgrading from a fc5 (final?) running system. When I boot the installed x64 fc6 test2 kernel I get a failure in insmod trying to load a module. I don't know if this is related or not. I'm adding the log I got by setting up to use a serial port as a console. The doc at tldp.org worked GREAT! Any/all hints/tips/suggestions would be welcome. Here's the tail end of what I'm seeing: Creating initial device nodes Setting up hotplug. Creating block device nodes. Loading scsi_mod.kKernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! o module insmod : can't read '/l
I don´t think it´s the same problem. For me the kernel panics early before it gets as far as the module loading stage.
Reassigning to correct owner, kernel-maint.
Simon, did fc6test3 / fc6pre do any better ?
Yes, RC6 pre seems to work. I didn´t run the installer but the kernel boots now. Closing..
