All
I am a Linux novice but very familiar with Win OS.
I tried to install SL 4.2 on a Gateway M675 notebook but failed (see
below). I was able to install Mandriva 2006, but would like to get SL
installed.
Computer specs
Processor: Pentium™ 4 CPU, 3.2 GHz
Core logic: Intel 865PE, ICH5
Phoenix BIOS, SMBIOS 2.3 support
RAM: 512 MB
Video: ATI M11-P, 64 MB DDR-SDRAM
Complete computer specs at
http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/Gateway/M675/3501731sp75.shtml
Installation fails during the initial system check after pressing
Enter (or 'Linux noprobe' and all other variants). The last few lines
are
[<c02a7c55>] cpufreq_register_driver+0x14b/0x271
[<c03b8714>] do_initcalls+0x49/0x8a
[<c010043c>] init+0x0/0x1d8
[<c01004e8>] init+0xac/0x1d8
[<c01041d9>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xb
Code: (three lines of hex)
<0>Fatal exception: panic in 5 seconds
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
and then it hangs.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dr. Roy Jensen
