Subject: Panic early in boot
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2009 17:39:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9599edfc0906051439s7e006edcrdb68ccde60d51815@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I have a x86_64 system running inside a VMware virtual machine. It
works very well with 2.6.25; however, I have tried both 2.6.27 and
2.6.29, and both give me a panic immediately upon boot. I have to use
earlyprintk to get anything useful.
Output is pasted below. It's hand-typed from a screenshot, so
hopefully I didn't mistype anything. I can get the memory ranges if
need be. Hopefully someone knows of the solution/can fix the problem.
Thanks,
Jeff
