Hi Chris, I don't know enough to know if I'm looking at a kernel panic. When I try a text install I get what looks like random characters and: install exited abnormally [1/1] cntrl-alt-f4 gives me: <4> [<c0478748>] sys_oldumount+0xd/0xf <4> [<c0402e57>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb <4>DWARF2 unwinder stuck at syscall_call+0x7/0xb <4>Leftover inexact backtrace: <4> [<c040397e>] show_stack_log_lvl+0x8a/0x95 <4> [<c0403aae>] show_registers+0x125/0x192 <4> [<c05f53e6>] die+0x15f/0x262 <4> [<...>] do_trap... <4> [<...>] do_invalid.. <4> [<...>] error_code... <4> [<...>] shrink_dcache_for_umount... <4> [<...>] generic_shutdown_super... <4> [<...>] kill_block_super... <4> [<...>] deactivate_super... <4> [<...>] mntput_no_expire... <4> [<...>] path_release_on_umount... <4> [<...>] sys_umount... <4> [<...>] sys_oldumount... <4> [<c0402e57>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb <0>Code: 02 00 00 8b 40 1c 85 d2 8b 00 c7 45 f0 00 00 00 00 74 06 8b 52 20 89 55 f0 57 50 56 51 ff 75 f0 53 68 d5 75 61 c0 e8 a1 33 fa ff <0f> 0b 67 02 c9 75 61 c0 83 c4 1c 8b 73 3c 39 de 75 04 31 f6 eb <0>EIP: [<c0473678>] shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree+0x146/0x1d6 SS:ESP 0068:ca15feb4 <4> -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Chris Lumens <clumens@xxxxxxxxxx> > > I don't remember the exact phrasing but the fc3 t3 install hangs after I see > the "Checking for previous fedora installations."
