I've trying to run Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-32-1.6.iso on my HP Compac dc5800 Small Form Factor. It kernel panics with the message that it attempted to kill init or that it attempted to kill the idle task. In the former case, it gives exit code 0x00000009. For several months, I've been running Centos 7 with no difficulty in booting, except for needing acpi=off . I've needed that on every computer I've ever owned. I know roughly what it means, but have no idea why it would matter. The live DVD, including Troubleshoot, crashes with or without acpi=off . How do I boot? -- Michael hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
