Is there something I need to do to get the rest? Yep you can give a vga=792 or some other magic number your video adapter likes to get 80x50. But unfortunately the initscripts force your font to 8x16 undoing the good work, and your panic happen during the initscripts. Looking at the call stack it seems that it blows chunks doing ifconfig eth0 up or equivalent during ifup eth0 I guess. What I would do is boot somehow, perhaps in rescue mode, and edit /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 setting ONBOOT=no and then reboot. That will allow you to complete the boot without eth0 being up (as far as we can guess anyway). Then switch to VT1 with Ctrl-Alt-F1, login as root, and do setfont alt-8x8 to enter super squish-o-vision mode, and finally provoke the panic (theoretically) with ifup eth0 and you should see the whole deal. -Andy
