Greetings -
Has anyone ever managed to install FC4 on a Sony Vaio desktop, model
VGC-RB53 ?
I can install - but on boot up after the install, I get a kernel panic
and it just hangs.
Hangs tend to be able to be worked around by using boot parameters.
Try some of the ones listed at:

While you're there - bookmark the site. It's extremely handy.

Welp - I tried all sorts of stuff. Still a no-go. Here's how I'm doing
this:
Primary SATA drive is XP
Secondary SATA is for CentOS or FC4 (whichever I can get to work)
On complete install of either (it installs just dandy) and reboot into
the virgin install, I get the kernel panic (poop loads of code) and the
caps lock and scroll lock lights on the keyboard are both flashing at
the same time.
Some other info that may be relevent - I am using a Belkin OmniView SE 4
port PS/2 KVM (I don't know it that may be the issue after the fact).
Anyhow - if someone else can shed some light - I really would like to
NOT use XP, and even though I like FreeBSD, I would prefer the use of
CentOS or FC4.
Help!

Never create a problem for which you do not have
the answer.
