 Posted: Tue Jun 06, 2006 12:28 am Post subject: Kernel oops while booting from live CD (Power Macintosh G3) |
 |
|
I have a blue and white Power Macintosh G3. I downloaded and burned the 2006.0 minimal ISO onto a CD, and when I boot from it, I get
* Coldplugging pci devices
Oops: kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
SMP NR_CPUS=8
NIP: C004B460 LR: C004B45C SP: CDC13E90 REGS: cdc13de0 TRAP: 0300 Not tainted
(etc., I'll write all these hex codes when I know someone who knows what they mean would read them)
I've tried looking around on the web, but I can't find a mention of a kernel oops at this particular time. I can't find anyone who has a problem booting from the install CD, but oopses are common enough later, apparently.
Anyway, does anyone know what I can do about this particular oops?
Thanks,
Ash |

We can't really help you without the trace. But you could try using the nodetect option to prevent it from loading modules.

I'm going to try my hand at the nodetect option now. |

I have booted using the nodetect option successfully, though I hope I can figure out how to make the network work.
Oh, and yes, I've got the ATI Rage 128 installed that came with this thing. |

to get the network to work just type modprobe bmac
also to look at your hard drive you might have to type modprobe cmd64x

All you have to do is, at the boot line, type:I had to use the video=ofonly option since the the display stopped displaying after I tried to boot the kernel, so the full line I used was | Code: | | ppc32 video=ofonly nodetect |
Let me know if you have any more questions. I hope this helps.
