Trying to install FC5 from CD, first boot fails with message
"Unknown interrupt or fault at EIP 00010006 00000060 c03a1e80" and this message is endlessly repeated.
System is an old Compaq Proliant 2500, and FC4 runs fine.
Because of the Proliant's "memory hole", FC4 needs boot parameters "memmap=exactmap mem=640k@0 mem=95m@1m"
Has something changed in this area with FC5?

That is exactly the same behavior when I try to boot the i686 SMP kernel on my dual VIA C3 machine. The UP kernel works. In my case the problem is that the chip doesn't support PAE (64GB RAM extensions). You probably aren't seeing the same problem but you never know.

btw, does http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC5/RPMS.kernel/kernel-smp-2.6... work on that smp via ? (It'll spit out a warning during install of an unresolved symbol, and xen is busted right now, but otherwise it should work).

Yes, it boots and runs fine.

dual CPU ?
Because of the Proliant's "memory hole", FC4 needs boot parameters "memmap=exactmap mem=640k@0 mem=95m@1m"
so the kernel on the install cd works, but the one it boots into is broken ? doing the install with rpmarch=i586 as a boot option should work around that. It does mean that you'll be stuck in single processor mode for now though. (unless you try the experimental 568-smp kernel I put on http://people.redhat.com/davej post-install)
The pentium pro should be more than capable of running the 686-smp kernel though (and in fact, I did an install on a 4-way proliant 5000 a few days back, which went fine).
