Is the system frozen after the error or can you still for example switch 
to VT2?

What are the full messages on the screen?
We really need more info to have any chance of reassigning this to the 
kernel. 

 Also tried install setting framebuffers=false at the boot prompt
 but still encountered panic.

That is unlikely to have any effect in this case.
Better candidates for working around the problem are booting with:
acpi=off
noapic
nolapic
or combinations of those.

 Progress bar window with Detecting hardware to find CD-ROMs
 appears and completes to end and then window disappears
 leaving a blue screen.

So the modules are loaded correctly but the panic seems to happen when the 
CD is accessed. Can you try to run the installation in expert mode so we 
can see at exactly which step the failure occurs. We can try more 
debugging once we know this.

Another thing to try in expert mode is to load only those modules relevant 
for your hardware in the Detecting hardware to find CD-ROMs step.

If you can, try with a different cdrom drive.

Cheers,
FJP

Bug#387767: Installation Failure

2006-09-17 Thread Keith Parkansky

Let me preface my information below by
saying that while I was trying different
things, I found that if I don't set the
framebuffer to false, I never see the
kernel panic.  The system locks up tight
with a gray bar (row) at the bottom of a
blue screen.  If I do set the frame buffer
to false, I can switch consoles when the
system appears to hang (black row at the
bottom of a blue screen) before I get the
kernel panic message.

I booted the CD using the following at
the boot prompt:
expert noapci nolapci apcpi=off

I choose language, country, en_US.UTF-8,
no additional locales, PC-style keyboard,
and American English keymap.  I then get
the Detect and mount CD-ROM, the next
screen shows 28 kernel modules that were
detected, then the Detecting hardware...
progress bar completes and a window pops
up asking Start PC Card services?.  I
tab to 'No' and hit Enter.

At this point the machine locks up.  I
can't switch to another console.  I don't
get a kernel panic this time.  The system
just totally locks up.  I tried both CD#1
and the NETINST CD and got the same results
with both.

On the 28 kernel modules that were detected,
there was floppy, USB, isofs, and the rest
all have to do with IDE.  They are:
via82cxxx
trm290
triflex
sic90e66
sis5513
ssimage
serverworks
sc1200
rz1000
pdc202xx_old
pdc202xx_new
opti621
ns87415
it821x
npt34x
cy82c693
cs5535
cs5530
cs5520
cmd64x
atiixp
amd74xx
alim15x3
aec62xx
ide-generic

I tried de-selecting all modules
except ide-generic and isofs and
still got the lockup/kernel panic.
I don't know which module would be
appropriate for the Intel AL440LX mobo.

I will supply most of the text of the
kernel panic message tomorrow.  It's
very late here and I need to get some
sleep before work tomorrow.

Comments/Problems:
Encountered same kernel panic (not syncing) during
installation using both i386 CD#1 and NETINST CD on
two separate (but same hardware) systems.  Also tried
install setting framebuffers=false at the boot prompt
but still encountered panic.  Here is what happens:
System boots off CDs to Debian screen with boot prompt.
Selected language OK (English).
Selected country OK (US).
Selection keymap OK (American English).
Progress bar window with Detecting hardware to find CD-ROMs
appears and completes to end and then window disappears
leaving a blue screen.
There is a few seconds of hard-drive activity and then the
CD-ROM drive spins up for a few seconds as if something is
being read and then it stops.
At the bottom of the blue screen is a row of black with the
white cursor flashing at the bottom-left of the screen.
The system sits there for 30 to 60 seconds and then a bunch
of stuff appears on the screen with the last few lines saying
there was a kernel panic - not syncing - fatal exception in
interrupt.
Note that both Woody and Sarge installed and ran great on
both of the systems I got the kernel panics on so it is not
a hardware failure type of problem.  Sarge is still installed
and running on one of them so if you want me to run any Sarge
commands to collect any system info I can do so.
Note also that I did not set DHCP to false at the boot prompt
even though I do not have a DHCP server.
