Has anybody tried to install Red Hat Enterprise 5 Server in a virtual machine? I have completed the installation without a problem, but when I try to boot I get a kernel panic. Initially I thought the problem had to do with ACPI, so I passed the acpi=off parameter to the kernel. This managed to make the boot processs move further, but the end result was another kernel panic. I am using build 3188.
I see the same thing It does a kernel panic before I can even see what driver is causing it to panic. Running the same build. -Dan
Any word on this issue? Now that CentOS has released their downstream of RHEL5, there may be a new round of confused Parallels users (myself included in that group.
If I pass "pci=off" as a kernel argument to RHEL 5 Workstation, it lets me log in, but then I can't figure out how to probe the network adapter to get online, for one thing. Without it, I see the exact same call trace and kernel panic that azlobo73 posted.
1. The problem is related to AGP support. Boot with the additional kernel argument "agp=off" and you're in business. 2. The following resulted in immediate termination of Parallels and a problem report being sent to Apple: After installing CentOS 5.0 (RHEL 5.0 rebranded) and booting for the first time, there is a series of final configuration menus. One menu allows for verifying that sound support works by clicking a button and playing a sound file. I tried clicking this button and *while the sound was still playing* clicked the "next/continue/whatever" button at the bottom of the dialog. After advancing to the next dialog, a confirmation box appeard to verify that I had heard the test sound. I confirmed that I had, and Parallels crashed. I booted again and repeated the first-boot configuration process. I repeated the previous steps but waited for the previously mentioned confirmation box to appear and be dismissed before moving to the next dialog. This worked fine.
