PANIC during stage 1: "Unable to handle kernel paging request". Using install-amd64-universal-2005.0-r1 iso. Had to handwrite any info from screen so I copied down only a small amount. If you need more, let me know. Unable to handle kernel paging request at FFFFFBFF80146215 RIP: [< same as above >] PGD 0 Oops: 0010 [1] SMP CPU 0 modules linked in: [lots o' stuff] PID: 0, Comm: Swapper not tainted 1.6.11-gentoo-r3-k8 [lots o' registers] Code: Bad RIP value RIP[<same as above>] RSP <FFFFFFFF80408068> CR2: [same as RIP] <0> Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler AMD 64 FX-53, Abit AV8 board (latest BIOS), 2x512MB Mushkin 400 MHz 2-2-2-5 SDRAM, Seagate 160 GB SATA (used for 'doze, not Linux, no comments please! :-)), LSI 21320 SCSI. Maxtor 10K drive used for Linux. Looked on message boards, two options found: 1) Use MEM= option to specify memory. Didn't fix the problem. 2) Just reboot and keep on installing. Didn't work -- Stage 1 claimed it was done, and stage2 stopped after a while with a make error. NOTE: I had installed the 2004.4 (?) release **32-bit** on this same configuration before 2005.0 was out, and it worked just peachy. I just wanted to move to 64 bits. Yes, I've run a memtest, and it's clean. As a side issue, **NO** gentoo CD will boot successfully from the CD drive on the scsi -- during booting, it can't find a boot partition, and I can only go to a shell. Same for Dolphin CD. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Follow steps in Gentoo LInux x86 Handbook. 2. When you reach page 31, you're done :-) (i.e., scripts/bootstrap.sh step) Actual Results: panic as described above, and panic in me because I can't get the thing running. Expected Results: Uhm, install without problems, maybe? Gentoo install has other problems, too. Please e-mail me for more information.
For the first: try to install using stage 3. This will give you a working system w/o the need to bootstrap. Then please try to boot your box with a newly compiled kernel (recent version w/ your own config file), create a chroot using the stage1 tarball and try to bootstrap in there.
