4 Hi all,
5
6 I've tried this with both the 2005.1 profile CD and the 2006.0 profile
7 CD. Both get a kernel panic at the hardware detection process. The
8 2005.1 CD seems to search for hardware, and then panic at what seems
9 to be near the end. The 2006.0 CD seems to panic almost immediately
10 after starting the hardware detection process (no little green bar).
11 The error I get for *both* CDs is as follows:
12
13 "Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task!
14 In idle task - not syncing"
15
16 Then it just hangs. The system is rather antiquated, and I would
17 think these sort of problems would have been worked out. Hardware
18 info below:
19
20 Ultra1 Creator3D (Ultra SPARC 167MHz)
21 256MB RAM
22 32GB Seagate SCSI Fast-Wide Ultra-SCSI II HDD
23
24 I've loaded gentoo on similar U1's without problems. So why can't I
25 boot this one to the CD? I would love to get gentoo on this box for a
26 personal project. Any ideas?
27
28 If you need any further info, feel free to ask. I currently have
29 Solaris 9 on the box and can use whatever utilities are part of that
30 OS to gather info.
31
32 TIA
