CentOS 4.4 kernel panic during installation

deardron · 09-07-2006, 06:07 AM

When I try to install CentOS 4.4 on laptop ASUS A4000 it stops in the very beginning with "kernel panic: not syncing" and hangs up. Other systems such as Fedora 5 and NetBSD 3.01 which I tried on the laptop recently didn't have such problems, so I may suppose it's not a hardware issue. Lunix partition is formatted and clean. May be I should to try an earlier version of CentOS and then upgrade it to 4.4?

So I downloaded CentOS 3.8 1of3 CD and booted into it. It went longer than CentOS 4.4, but stopped at the following lines:

ehci-hcd 00:03.3: PCI device 1039:7002
ehci-hcd 00:03.3: irq 5, pci mem e080d000
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
ehci-hcd 00:03.3: BIOS handoff failed (112, 1919991)

At this stage everything hangs up again...

Hi Guys,

I am facing the same problem for my HP Pavilion dv4-1114nr 1.41" Notebook.

It has Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 2.0 GHz 2 Processors. I believe its a 64 bit processor.

I am getting "Kernel Panic - not syncking" when I am trying to Install RHEL 5.2 x86_64 OS

and everytime it says that "The BIOS handoff is falied (BIOS bug)".

Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?

Thanks,

Mansur.

CentOS does the same thing whenever I try to install it in a QEMU Virtual Machine.
