Kernel Panic right at bootup. huh?!


So I poped in my Mandrake 8.2 CD to boot of off on a syystem with;

ti200 Geforce 3
DDR 256MB
1.4ghz Tbird (shuttle board)

Its runnign windows fine but at CD load, you know, where you can enter expert, text, etc. etc. select ANY of the options and it loads, next screen (the one before initial setup loads) it seems ok, but half the echo'd text is talking about some error, (all in hex) and at the bottom it says "Kernal Panic"


WHY? Is this hardware? A bios setting I need to disable/enable?

I just got rejected at the local school board meeting about converting to linux, came home wanting to try mandrake out on this new machine and it wont load this is NOT a good night.

any help on pointing me in the right direction would be excellent.

This is the error I get on screen.

I typed "text" to proceed with text-based installation mode and this is what i get on the next screen;

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00030002
Print eip: c02195e6
*pde = 00000000
Oops=0000
CPU=0
EIP: 0010:[<c02195e6>] Not Tainted
Eflags: 00010292
Eax: c1409f4c

tons more of jibberish

Code: ac aa 84 c0 75 fa 8b 44 24 08 83 f8 04 77 27 83 f8 03 72 72
<0> kernel atemptted to kill init!





I can type out the "jibberish" if that helps but i think the top and bottom lines state the problem... however I am not expirienced with these types of problems... Im willing to learn tho I think it's time i dive into the kernel. need some help getting in tho

BTW it's a Shuttle AK35GT mobo no over clocks

Was this Mandrake from a boxed set, or a download and burn set? Has that set of CDs ever worked elsewhere?

Wasn't there an option at bootup to specify a non-Intel CPU? I heard that AMD CPUs are a bit screwy with Linux, but work fine when explicitly declared as AMD CPUs at boottime...

It's the download edition and it work on other machines perfectly.

Haven't thought about the AMD problem... How do I declare such settings?

Thanks!

You can try:

linux noathlon or linux mem=nopentium.

I have the same motherboard with the same problem. I boot from cd and get the same error message. If anyone has the solution to this I would like to know it to. I'm a newbie when it comes to linux.

Just an idea and no gurantee it will work, but go into the BIOS setup and look for an option such as "Load Defaults" of "Load Failsafe Settings" or something similar. I have seen this kind of behavior before and once I loaded the BIOS defaults, everything was fine. Try this and let us know how it goes.

Nope. That didn't work either. I loaded the default fail safe option in the bios. Could this be an issue that my mobo is still fairly new that Mandrake 8.2 doesn't support it yet?

hmmm...yeah, that's a strange one. I hate to say it but I would probably give RedHat a try(as suggested above) just to see if it is a Mandrake specific problem. Mandrake 9.0 should be out in a month or two. If it is distro specific maybe 9.0 will fix the problem. I'm pretty sure it's not an AMD issue as I have several AMD machines and I have never had any problems. If RedHat DOES work, you could always email Mandrake support and see if they have any suggestions.

Thanks all for the replies. I've already downloaded Mandrake 9.0 beta just to see if works. I'll give Red Hat a shot. Thanks again.

Angry same problem

I have the exact same mobo (AK 35GT) with an Athlon XP 1600+, and get the same error with mandrake 8.2. I can tell you Redhat 7.3 works just fine. It seems to be a screwy kernel which doesn't like something about the hardware.
