I encountered a crash-on-boot problem with some AMD-based desktops; I got
it working by adding the kernel parameter
initcall_blacklist=clocksource_done_booting
It's described in this bug report:

One issue I have found is that GDM and the Gnome desktop seem cranky on
older hardware. For example, at times it would stop displaying the
login prompt. I suspect that it has something to do with 3D support,
which the new Gnome requires. I wound up switching to Lightdm and MATE.

FYI, I just encountered another issue with this kernel: it panics on boot
when running on some AMD CPUs. There's a bug report with a workaround
here:

I presume I would do that by enabling the sl7-rolling repo, correct? My
main concern would be how to go back to 7x after the release. Can I
simply disable the rolling rep
Looks like it will do the job. Thanks!

RHEL/SL is abandoning 32 bits, but many other distros continue to support
them, and probably will for while. Debian is one example; they even still
support PowerPC.

One of the advantages of SL is that it includes packages that are not part
of the upstream but are useful in scientfic environments. Xfig, IMHO, is
one of those packages; if SL can include it, it will save me some hassle.

Do you need the whole desktop, or do you just need to be able to run X
applications? I set my systems up so I can log in as root with an SSH
key, use X forwarding, and the installers I've tried have worked fine.

at in 2.6.18-194.11.1.el5, write the MAC address back to the
card at shutdown, but do it badly, zeroing out the leading 4 bytes of the

report has been filed for Fedora, number 573201, but I don't see one for RHEL.

You have to do a paravirtulized install to do paravirtulized, and there isn't

I did not make the guest, but downloaded it. It's a generic Postgresql
