Hello guys. I have a Lenovo R60 and installed slackware 11 under parallels. The install went fine and when i tried to boot slackware for the first time and i got a pernel panic.

Heres what the message is:

agpart: Detected an Intel i815, but could not find the secondary device. Assuming a non-integrated video card.
Kernel panic: gatt buss addr too high

I tried to google the error and it returned nothing. I restarted the virtural machine and because the filesystem was not properly unmounted slackware automatically checked the disk for errors. Somehow after that slackware booted without a problem. But when I restarted again after getting into the system I got the same panic again. Seems as if the panic only comes up when the disk check is not run. Any solutions?

thanks guys.

Hm. Remove Parallels, install Slackware as the primary OS, and then install QEMU for your virtual machine needs. As open source as it can get.

(betcha you're not satisfied with that, but I don't know what the cause of your errors is other than a failing hardware emulation by the parallels product).

I'd like to keep slackware 11 on parallels for now.

I get this same kernel panic when I have 1GB or more RAM allocated to the machine, but not with 768MB -- try reducing the amount of virtual machine memory.
