Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
here is the error I'm getting I can get more info on my system if need be, I have 1 gig of ram that is working perfectly fine, my hard drive is good, its just not installing fedora....
and see if the apic chip is buggy, or your bios is being buggy with it ... there are a few other apic boot options such as apic=debug
You would interrupt the boot process at the GrUB splash screen by pressing enter
Arrow down to the line starting with kernel
Hit the "a" key to append
place a single space then add: noapic
then boot into it -- can't remember if you hit enter, then b, or "e" then "b" for that
I followed the instructions given to use the noapic option to no avail. I am able to boot into Fedora 7 but when I attempt to boot into Fedora 7 XEN, that is when I have this issue.
so I tried the noapic trick by hitting esc then f4 for kernel then typing linux noapic and it gives me new errors

then kernel panic again

i had the same problem in fc-6 but i installed by typing 'garbage' and it will give a msg kernel module garbage not found again hit enter and your installation will proceed without any problem. hope it will work on f-7 too.
I am confused by the last posting with respect to "garbage" at install. I have already installed FC7 and have, daily, grabbed and installed the latest package updates.
Yeah I tried doing the garbage thing, and the noapic thing, not having any problems with my memory, rand memtest84 through the install, and a coupple of ram tests and a coupple of chip tests, ect. ect. ect. can only get about the prev 24 lines of information its driving me nuts.....
