I got a kernel panic at the start of my first install of FC2. My setup: ISO Source: Bittorrent Media: Attempted install from both DVD-R and CDR. MD5 sums of the iso's were correct. I burnt the iso's to disks again in case the media, though premium and appeared undamaged, and got the same results. Other DVD and CD burns work fine, so not likely the disks. Hardware: Gigabyte GA-7VRXP (Via KT333 chipset) Motherboard; Athlon XP-2200; 2 ata hard drives; 1 DVD-ROM, 1 cd-rw; ATI Radeon 9000 Configuration: FC1 and Win2000 on hda, RH9 on hdb; Grub (The text file attatchment has the screen output cleanly formatted as it was on my screen) This is the screen output when my installs of FC2 crashed: EIP is at acpi_ps_parse_aml+0xb2/0x1a4 eax: 00000000 ebx: cfd16c00 ecx: c02b38c9 edx: 00000d9a esi: cfd16c00 edi: cfd15f44 ebp:00000007 esp: cffd5f60 ds: 007b es: 007b ss:0068 Process swapper (pid: 1, threadinfo=cffd5000 task=cfd51630) Stack: 00000000 00000000 cfd16c00 cffe0284 00000001 c01aa473 cffe0144 cffe0144 c037e634 00000000 c01aa492 cffe0144 c01a84bdcffe0144 00000000 00000000 c01a852e 00000000 00000000 00000000 c01a85e2 c01ae62d 00000001 000fc0d0 Call Trace: [<c01aa473>] acpi_ns_one_complete_parse+0x6b/0x7b [<c01aa492>] acpi_ns_parse_table+0xf/0x29 [<c01a84bd>] acpi_ns_load_table+0xcd/0x8f [<c01a852e>] acpi_ns_load_table_by_type+0x4f/0xea [<c01a85e2>] acpi_ns_load_namespace+0x19/0x34 [<c01ae62d>] acpi_load_tables+0xd9/0x139 [<c032ccc5>} acpi_bus_init+0x26/0x11b [<c032ce1c>] acpi_init+0x62/0xb4 [<c0320659>] do_initcalls+0x49/0x97 [<c010029e>] init+0x0/0xe2 [<c01002bb>] init+0xld/0xe2 [<c01041d5>] kernel_thread_helper_0x5/0xb Code: 83 78 10 00 75 0e 80 48 09 08 8b 83 ac 01 00 00 c6 40 1c 01 <0>Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
