 Nope.
 Can't have a kernel panic until there's a kernel TO panic.
 You're well beyond BIOS at that point.

 More likely, the device driver wasn't built into the kernel, so the
 kernel can't read the device to load the module that is the driver.

[RDD] Newbie with a New Install

[Jim Stewart]

Linux starts out booting using BIOS calls to the "bootable device" (hard drive, 
etc).  This all done by a bootloader itself.   Once the kernel and initramfs is 
loaded into memory, the processor switches to a more advanced mode (from "real" 
compatibility mode) and starts executing the kernel.  At this point it is up to 
the drivers in Linux to be able to find its file system.  I'm guessing it is 
NOT.  This could be that there is not a driver loaded for the hardware that 
contains the file system, or perhaps the BIOS has done some sort of switch of 
boot device order such that the kernel is now looking in the wrong place for 
its file system.   The later can be dealt with by adding some direction to the 
boot loader to boot on the correct device.  Since you are booting on USB, there 
is a lot that could go wrong here as the USB hardware itself could be missing a 
driver, and likely is.  Typically the driver for this would be compiled as a 
separate module then loaded into the initramfs file system for the kernel to 
load.  Your CentOS might not have done this, at least for the actual USB port 
device hardware you have, which means you would have to add it yourself and 
rebuild the initramfs (and finally the change the file system on the USB 
storage device you are using).  This is a little involved to do.



In any case, look further back on the boot messages (use "shift - page up" to 
scroll up the page if needed) and check that a driver for the hardware that the 
file system did get loaded and the storage device itself did get found and is 
what the kernel is looking for.  For example, look for /dev/sda1 if that is 
what it thinks it should boot on and make sure that device didn't end up being 
set as /dev/sdb1 instead!  If there is no mention of a "sdx" device then my 
original theory that the driver never got load would prevail.  In this case I 
would resort to installing the file system on a traditional non-USB device (as 
in a SATA device) to get things going quickly.

Well, I tried the CentOS 7 Live DVD installed on a bootable USB created by 
unetbootin-windows-613 and I get a ?

Kernel panic ? not syncing: Attempted to kill init!



And then it stops.



I?m beginning to think it is something with a BIOS setting but I don?t know.

Could be an ACPI issue.  Try both acpi=on and acpi=off in GRUB.  I don’t 
remember which one the appliance has set by default.

 The fact that the CentOS CD booted and installed tends to suggest that
 it's not hardware, but that may not be definitive.

 For me, I just need a little more context as to where this
 [] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20
 comes from, and when in the process.
 One line out of hundreds doesn't help me, and there's nothing similar
 in my CentOS 5 or CentOS 6 or CentOS 7 boot logs.

It sounds like a hardware problem. Will anything else (e.g. Ubuntu Live

Hi Geoff,

This is a brand new machine, but of course that doesn't mean anything.  I
did run memtest 86 and it checked out just fine.

Thanks In Advance,
-Jamie

Hi Jamie.
What is the general health of the machine like? If seen errors like this
from bad ram and crook CD drives.
If you have spare ram try it. Or perhaps run memtest 86. You should be able
to run it for 20 minutes or so to test your ram.
Many thanks

[RDD] Newbie with a New Install

[Jamie Dennis]

Hi Everyone,

I have been beating myself up trying to do this new install but I can't get
the system to boot up after installing.  Now, I have to admit that I am new
at Rivendell and new with linux as well.  I have very limited experience in
that I have only run an installed system and I've also setup an FTP Server
with CentOS.

So I downloaded the Broadcast Appliance DVD, since it has everything I
need, CentOS 6.7 and Rivendell.  The PC I am trying to install this on is a
Lenovo ThinkCentre M83.

Once it completes the install, I reboot the machine and it starts running
and then stops at ...
[] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20

I've tried changing Bios settings, I've tried changing hard drives, and
I've tried re-installing everything more times than I care to admit.

Please help,
-Jamie Dennis
