When installing from minimal live cd, after setting up partitions and network etc, i go to download a stage tarball using links (or links2), but as soon as i go to follow a link from the /main/en/mirrors.xml page, i get a kernel panic, with something about one of the sk????.c files i think.. sorry i cant be more specific - havent been able to write it down... using p4p800 mobo with inbuilt 3c2000 (3c940) NIC - able to be initialied fine using sk98lin... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. modprobe sk98lin 2. ifconfig eth0 etc.. etc.. 3. links http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml 4. highlight link to follow and hit enter (or right) and get kernel panic Actual Results: system froze with kernel panic Expected Results: fetched the next page Running ASUS P4p800 with Intel P4 2.4c processor - hyperthreading enabled, but not using smp kernel (actually got a kernel panic when trying to load smp- nofb, and and smp kernel just hangs on a blank screen)
We got quite similar reports about this module. Its behaviour seems to be rather strange sometimes. Anyway, since the problem appears in various different environments I consider this as a general problem. -> Upstream
