Hey all,

I've put together a new system with and am having no luck installing FC5 or FC6-T2, both in text mode.

On FC5, I needed a driver for something or other, can't remember what, but it didn't look encouraging. I did manage to get the language and keyboard layout screens. Anyway, I went on to try FC6-T2.

On test-2, I get an immediate kernel panic.  It says:

DWARF2 unwinder stuck at kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xb
Leftover inexact backtrace:
...
Code: ...
EIP: ...
<0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

(I can fill in the blanks if anybody would find it useful).

This is all very repeatable.

The system consists of:
Asus P5B mobo
Core2Duo 6400
2x1 GB OCZ DDR2 / 800 MHz
nVidia 7300 GS (PCI Express)
400GB Seagate SATA/300 attached to Intel ICH8 (either IDE or AHCI mode, doesn't matter)

Any ideas?
As far as I know it can't be worked around. I ran into the same problem with my new Core 2 Duo system. I opened https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201977 and it was closed as rawhide. kernel-2.6.17-1.2543.fc6 works for me. I am currently running FC5 on mine for working Nvidia binary drivers. Xorg 7.1 in FC6 isn't properly compatible with the ATI or Nvidia binary drivers.

I still have serious problems though. The onboard Jmircon JMB363 sata/pata controller is disabled on boot. Hence I had to go out and get a sata optical drive. My dual onboard gigabit r8168 network cards don't work either. I found a set of patches for 2.6.18rc2, which is older than the latest development kernel, http://www.fr.zoreil.com/linux/kernel/2.6.x/2.6.18-rc2/r8169/ They don't seem to have been merged with the main tree. There is also a driver from Realtek, from what I have read, but it's quality is questionable.

Skipping disabled JMB363 IDE controller.

 My system is mostly unrecognized by lspci.
