There are some know issues with certain hardware, mainly some older hardware and some very new one's, where the kernel panics As Brenda was having a kernel panic, I suggested to try one of these version, or older or newer Here are 2 examples : > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=494114 > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470202 >> 2.

Yes this is the RedHat mailing list, not the CentOS mailing list, but the answer would still be the same -- Toshaan <[email protected]> - http://www.toshaan.be While I was waiting for replies from the list, my friend Brad suggested I redo the install as a text install. It worked. No kernel panic this time. Thanks, Tosh and Phil for your replies. It is good to have an alternative strategy for the next time I have kernel trouble.
