Hello i am having this really weired problem with all the linux distros that i try to install... it's the kernel panic problem... here is my system's config:
intel 1.8 ghz(socket 478 non-ht) cpu, 845 mobo with agp 8x slot, XFX fx5200 256 mb agp card, 512 megs of ram, 2 hdd's 80 gigs each, 2ide drives...
now the problem is that when the agp card is plugged in the slot linux won't boot the error message that i get shows up during the initializing hardware phase... it says this(only the last 2-3 lines are shown...):
[<c0311443>]syscall_call+0x7|0xb
code:d8 35 c0 5b 89 d0.............<39>70 04 76 0c 89..........
<0> Fatal Exception: panic in 5 seconds
Kernel panic-not syncing: Fatal exception
the problem disappers when i take out the agp card... And yes i disable the on board gfx controler when the system is using the agp..
i have used: centos,RHEL(this i got with the Red Hat Training KIT), Ubuntu(in this is the system hangs at the HOT-Plug manager initialization), Fedora Core.. i wasnt able to install any distro because of the problem... in order to install the distro i have to take out the card...
now here is the tricky part Red Hat Linux 9 installs perfect and works perfect even with the agp card plugged in
Pls Help...
