https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=202079 ------- Comment #39 from dbolt.abiryy@davjam.org 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. -- 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.
