Kernel panic - CPU text corrupted

[hawkcl]

Anyone has any idea how to solve this problem. I tried to fdisk and format the drive. But still every time I try to install Fedora Core 3, this message will appear.

Please help ??? :-\

Is the message text or context?
Have you done any changes before getting this message?
Can you undo the changes?

[hawkcl]

Its text message, comes on every time I try to install OS

I mean, is the message

Kernel panic - CPU text corrupted

or

Kernel panic - CPU context corrupted

?

Are you overclocking your cpu?

Try passing the

ide=nodma

parameter on the Fedora bootscreen, before the install begins.

[hawkcl]

The code reads - Kernel Panic - CPU context corrupted.

Does it have anything to do with Hardware?

And when I boot from Hard Disk, I can see the last installation of Mandrake 10.2, How can I fully format the HDD?

I will try what you stated for me.

How Do I change the ide=nodma at the start up?

I found this on LinuxQuestions

For future reference, in case anyone is googling this...


CPU0: Machine Check Exception: 0000000000000004
Bank 0: be00030020200137[0118000100900140] at 00000000fee00300
Kernel Panic - not syncing: CPU Context corrupt.

Im fairly sure that error is a MCE check gone bad. To get around it, type "linux nomce"
at your LILO prompt. Or you can recompile your kernel to exclude Machine
Check Exception. HTH..

Also, many people say this could be faulty or hot cpu or memory. As I asked earlier, are you overclocking any of these?

From the Boot-Prompt Howto:

3.4.26. The `nomce' Argument

Some newer processors have the ability to self-monitor and detect
inconsistencies that should not regularly happen. If an inconsistency
is detected, a Machine Check Exception will take place and the system
will be halted (rather than plundering forward and corrupting your
data). You can use this argument to disable this feature, but be sure
to check that your CPU is not overheating or otherwise faulty first.

I manage to install after putting the code:

Linux nomce

And Now I have Fedora Core 3 installed, Thank you
