Hello there.
As in the subject: I try to install FC6, but the installation fails with
a kernel panic:
EIP: [<c04140c7>] clear_local_APIC+0x11/0xaf SS:ESP 0068:dfa13588
<0>kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
<1>BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffd370
[several (to me incomprehensible) text lines]
Call Trace:
[<c041416a>] disable_local_APIC+0x5/0x29
After some "heuristic" attempts if have found out that if I disable the
AGP card and use the onboard video card the installation goes on without
any problem (or at least doesn't stop with the kernel panic... I don't
perform a complete installation so far... ;-)). Of course this is not a
feasible solution...
The same problem appears also with previuos releases of Fefora core (in
fact since FC2, I can install without problems FC1) and with different
AGP video cards (e.g. ATI Radeon 9200).
I try to boot the installation with "noprobe", "noapic", "headless" and
many other options, but nothing changes.
My hardware:
Motherboard: AsRocks p4i56GV with
ASRock A.G.I. 8X - VGA upgrade slot, (AGP8X/4X compatible)
Actual Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 6800 XT (but the problem appears also
with different cards)
Any suggestion?
Thank you all,
Stefano
