I tried this on the taroon list, but forgot about the ordinary Red Hat lists. Has anyone seen this sort of problem before? -----Original Message----- From: Cannon, Andrew [mailto:Andrew.Cannon@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 5:23 PM To: 'Discussion of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (Taroon)' Subject: RE: Installing RHEL v3 WS on an Athlon 3400+ <MORE problems> Okay, I downclocked my memory to 333MHz (even though it is rated at 400) and tried again. Everything worked, apart from the graphical installation. Anaconda doesn't recognise the graphics card (GeForceFX5200) and so doesn't set the DISPLAY variable when starting up, so I have to use the text install route. No major problems with this, except I can't set up the lvm because there is no'lvm' button on the DiskDruid screen. I get over this obstacle and select "Everything" on the package menu. Installation is going great, until, with three minutes of the installation still remaining, I get a red screen with loads (and I mean bucketfuls) of text scrolling down it! I end up with the following error code: Kernel Panic: Fatal exception In interrupt handler - not syncing code: 03 41 04 3d 3f 42 0f 00 89 41 04 76 19 8b 92 40 03 00 00 2d Anyone got any ideas? (I'm going to raise this with Red Hat and see what they say, but I would like to know if anyone else has had a similar experience.)

I checked all the components when we took delivery of the systems. It is labelled as being PC3200, so I set it at DDR400 in the bios. I've got a copy of memtest at home, so I'll bring it in when I get chance.

If not, don't lie to your BIOS - set the BIOS to what your hardware is rated for. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- Taroon-list mailing list Taroon-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/taroon-list NNC's UK Operating Companies : NNC Holdings Limited (no. 3725076), NNC Limited (no. 1120437), National Nuclear Corporation Limited (no. 2290928), STATS-NNC Limited (no. 4339062) and Technica-NNC Limited (no. 235856).
