Folks: I would like to get some assistance on a problem I have been working through for a couple of weeks now. I am trying to upgrade a Tyan BX S1832DL Tiger 100 (Intel 440BX AGPset) based system from 7.2 to 7.3 I get a kernel panic while the installation is "Finding packages".
I was originally upgrading from 6.0 to 7.3 but when this failed due to this kernel panic I dropped back to upgrading to 7.2 which I was able to complete successfully. What I think would be useful would be to capture and provide the virtual screen output from v3 and v4 preceding the panic. However, I do not know how to do that. When the panic occurs I know of no way to get the data off the screen (other than typing it), but more importantly I no of know way to capture any of the data that has scrolled off of the screen. Can anyone provide me pointers to how I can get to the information that is displayed on these virtual consoles during installation/upgrade of 7.3? Thanks! mjp p.s. I can provide more details on my software/hardware configuration, but I would first like to figure out how to grab the virtual console data information unless someone else has a better way to debugging what is causing this kernel panic. p.s.s. I posted this query on the redhat-install-list over the weekend and received no reply which is why I am trying these lists today. -- Matt Perry [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
