Ditto, except I would like to flag the following error that

I get the same message during installation. But this kernel
solves 
problems with our new hardware (Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo
notebook with SATA 
ICH7 Intel Dualcore), that with the 2.6.9.-42.0.3 kernel
requires 
"acpi=off irqpoll" (and is still unstable with
these options).

Thanks for providing it!

Also, you got an Athlon powernow-k8 message on the CoreDuo
laptop ?? Can 
you please provide the output from /proc/cpuinfo and dmesg
please ( 
attach it at a bug report at http://bugs.centos.org/
and let us know the 
bug no please )

I don't think that cpuinfo and dmesg will help. I think this
is error 
output from depmod. It means that powernow-k8 has been
built, but there is 
no cpu_online_map defined in any other module. A makefile
problem, 
perhaps. Probably harmless (will anything attempt to load
powernow-k8 on 
that hardware?).

The 2.6.9-42.28.EL.c4test kernel is the only way to use
Centos 4.4 on 
this hardware. SuSe 10.x with x > 0 also appears to work.

Karanbir,

the powernow-k8 module is irrelevant for this hardware
(Genuine Intel(R) 
CPU  T2400   1.83GHz) .

However, I now tried the 2.6.9-42.28.EL.c4test kernel on a
Mac Pro 
(which works very well with 2.6.18, except for a
non-functional optical 
drive). It hangs during booting  at "Probing PCI
bus", after identifying 
the CPUs; with or without acpi=off. Of course the
2.6.9-42.0.3 also does 
not work with this hardware, but I was encouraged by the
success with 
the notebook.

I also tried on a Dell Precision 670. Here the kernel hangs
after
"Uncompressing Linux" before starting "Redhat
nash". This is unexpected 
because all CentOS kernels so far worked on this hardware.

On the latter two platforms I get during installation

embarrassing to reply to one's own posting ... the lack of
success on 
the Mac Pro and the Dell Precision was "pilot
error" - I installed the 
i386 kernel on x86_64 machines !

After fixing this, I find that the new kernel works well on
the Dell. I 
didn't have time to test the Mac Pro, but the boot messages
looked ok on 
a quick check.

So - no reason for bug reports.

Kay

why not ? it _is_ x8664 hardware .. Which is why i asked for
the dmesg 
and cpuinfo.
