== Comment: #0 - Gustavo Luiz Duarte <gusld.com> - 2012-10-02 13:50:27 == Trying to install Fedora 18 Alpha on a POWER 7 box using network boot I got the following kernel exception: [ 18.824618] Oops: Unrecoverable VMX/Altivec Unavailable Exception, sig: 6 [#1] Attached the install log, including the kernel exception with a call trace. == Comment: #1 - Gustavo Luiz Duarte <gusld.com> - 2012-10-02 16:24:44 == The following patch fixes this issue: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/188371/ I tested the patch on top of kernel-3.6.0-2.fc18.ppc64. It applies cleanly and fixes the issue. Could it be backported to Fedora 18 along with a nvr bump?
