[Bug 202079] Kernel panic during install on K6 and K6-2 processors (VIA Apollo chipsets) 10.2 Alpha 3
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=202079 ------- Comment #13 from al4321@gmail.com 2006-09-16 04:13 MST ------- I think it have something to do to SMP-based kernels (that are now default ones)... - perhaps there is some small bug in the chipset/BIOS that tell to Linux: "I am multiprocessor-capable system" and when Linux kernel uses the opcodes for standard multiprocessor systems, the system dies, and the kernel panics. I can't prove that, but it is the feeling... I can't prove, because I can't install the Linux system and then degrade the kernel to uniprocessor one, but I can do the other way around, will try to use older distro and install SMP kernel on one of the "buggy" systems. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
