From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.0 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020308 Description of problem: I tried installing under the latest beta under vmware using bootnet.img and I am getting a kernel panic when booting the installer kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the latest vmware workstation 3.1 2. Create a boot floopy from bootnet.img 3. Boot on an AMD Duron processor in VMWare (host RH7.2) Actual Results: Kernel Panic Expected Results: It should have let me install the latest redhat beta. Additional info: I was running the first skipjack beta under vmware with a k6-2/500 and everything was working fine. I upgraded my motherboard to an AMD Duron 1000Mhz and I got the kernel panic on boot up of beta2. Thinking it was VMware I updated to the latest 3.1 and started a new guest OS using beta2's bootnet.img->floppy. Still received the kernel panic (posted below). I tried a 7.2 bootnet.img just to make sure it was working, and it loaded fine. I realize that this might just be a problem with VMware, thought I would post anyway. I don't have any spare partitions to test w/o VMWare at the moment. Enabling fast FPU save and restore... done.
