Description Jill Mitchell 2003-01-16 02:47:47 UTC

This is what I got when attempting to install the 1/14/03 snapshot of rc3
candidate (a transcription)

scanning for nvnet
entering kdb (current-0x8fd6a000, pid 3142) on processor 0
Oops: invalid operand due to oops @ ....


This was followed by a core dump. the livecd booted successfully when I passed
it the -nonet parameter.

The machine I'm working with has an AMD K6-2 500 MHz processor, 256 MB RAM, and
a Tyan S1590S Trinity 100AT motherboard, which features the VIA MVP AGPset. It
has run multiple versions of Linux (Slackware distros) as well as Windoze NT
over the two and 1/2 years it's been in service. The NIC is a Kingston
KNE110TX/100B that's been successfully used with the tulip drivers in the past.

The 1/14/03 experimental was a 2.4.21pre3-ac kernel. Which seems to cause major problems for all. 1/13/03 contains xfs-sources-pre4 which should work fine on your system. another livecd should be out today with xfs-sources-pre5. It has a few bootup fixes, plus quite a few new nic drivers.

i told you the wrong information on kernel version, that livecd does
contain xfs-sources-pre4.

ill look into this.

Please test the latest LiveCD and reopen if the problem persists.
