[Bug 202079] Kernel panic during install on K6 and K6-2 processors (VIA Apollo chipsets) 10.2 Alpha 3

------- Comment #39 from dbolt.abiryy@xxxxxxxxxx 2006-09-29 20:07 MST -------
After taking the kernel image from the i586 RPM at
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/gregkh/202079/ and using it to replace the
non-working kernel on the Alpha4 CD1 ISO, I was able to boot under Parallels
without having a kernel panic (as noted under bug #202605).
As a description of what I've done, I have been taking the kernel and initrd
from the factory boot/i386/loader, and rebuilding the CD1 ISO using
makeSUSEdvd, using the factory kernel/initrd as a replacement for those
supplied on the alpha4 ISO. To date, each kernel/initrd combination taken from
factory have all failed with a kernel panic no matter what kernel options were
passed.
In my matest test, I extracted the kernel image from the RPM and used that as
the replacement kernel. Since the kernel RPM doesn't include a matching initrd,
and I didn't try to build one, there would be a version mismatch between the
kernel image (2.6.18-6) and the initrd (2.6.18-4).
Even though this is the case, the system does boot beyond the point at which it
was throwing up the kernel panic, although the installation system complains
that it can't find the installation CD and so activates the manual setup system
in text mode.
After this, I am able to pick the installation language as English and the
English (UK) keymap.
At this point, because no modules were loaded, and no can be loaded, the
installation can procede no further.
As a summary, it appears that this kernel build has solved the kernel panic
under Parallels.
